Who is Colette Kress, Nvidia's interim CEO?

CHICAGO — With Jensen Huang's resignation on Thursday, Nvidia is bringing longtime tech executive Colette Kress into the role of interim CEO. Kress first joined the California-based chipmaker back in 2013. She’s served as Nvidia's executive vice president and CFO ever since — and will now be stepping into the top post amid the company's most tumultuous chapter yet. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia over three decades ago and has since become a singular figure in the tech world, resigned after reports of his extramarital affairs came into the spotlight this week. He faced growing calls to step down after The New York Times reported on his relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy — and also late Wednesday, when the outlet and later others found Huang was said to have had another affair with an Nvidia employee. In a statement about her new interim post as CEO on Thursday, Kress said that Nvidia’s “strength has always come from its people" and that she was “committed to building on the extraordinary foundation Jensen created over the last 33 years.” She added that the

Japanese Korean activist's takedown of far right goes viral online with 10 million views

In a 1996 debate program on Japan’s Asahi TV, right-wing commentators mocked former Korean comfort women for demanding an apology, sneering, “Isn’t all they want compensation?” A woman in a red jacket calmly rebuked them: “That is an expression that insults human beings. Every person has dignity, and that is why their honor must also be restored.” Throughout the debate, she maintained her composure, elegantly dismantling the right-wing commentators’ distorted arguments point by point. The footage, still widely discussed today, has amassed 10 million views across YouTube and other social media platforms. The woman in the debate was Shin Sugok, a third-generation Zainichi — an ethnically Korean resident of Japan. At the time, she was an entrepreneur running a corporate consulting firm, as well as an author, critic and lecturer. She had achieved an unusually high level of success for a Zainichi woman. Despite countless threats from far-right groups in Japan, she has continued her activism for decades. A documentary film titled “Horoomon,” which chronicles Shin's life

Trump says ex Apple CEO Cook is 'a legend,' should replace Huang at Nvidia

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that former Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook should replace Jensen Huang as the CEO of Nvidia. "NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place - TIM COOK of Apple," Trump said on social media. "A Legend replaces a Legend!" he added. Cook stepped down after a 15-year stint as Apple's CEO in September and is now executive chairman at the iPhone-maker. Apple and Cook did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Last year, Cook presented Trump with a custom U.S.-made plaque mounted on a 24-carat gold stand commemorating Apple's "American Manufacturing Program", after saying it would invest an additional $100 billion in domestic manufacturing. Huang resigned as CEO and a member of the board on Thursday after reports said he had an affair with a Chinese businesswoman whom U.S. authorities suspect of spying for Beijing. Nvidia has announced that Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress will take over as interim CEO. Trump, who has maintained close ties with top U.S. tech exec

Trump says US does not need Iran deal, directs Vance to focus on domestic corruption

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said on Thursday the US does not need a deal with Iran and directed Vice President JD Vance, who has played a role in efforts to resolve the war, to focus "his complete and total attention" on alleged crime and corruption in Democratic-run cities and states. Trump's directive came a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Vance was considering face-to-face peace talks with a hard-line Iranian security official and a week after the vice president blamed the costly war with Iran for Republicans' midterm elections drubbing. "We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!" Trump wrote on social media, referring to the Strait of Hormuz. Trump had suggested in recent weeks that Iran would be more willing to strike a deal in the eight-month conflict after the US elections, but his administration this week signaled it believes its blockade and economic sanctions against Iran are working, meaning neither a military escalation nor diplomacy is

Former Nvidia CEO Huang had a relationship with a second employee, sources say

Ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an intimate relationship with a second employee, according to two people familiar with the matter, Reuters has learned. The revelation follows two other extramarital affairs that led to his resignation Thursday. The two women are Alice Huang, who US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care. Reuters is not naming the second employee. Attempts to reach the woman were not successful. Nvidia declined to comment. Powell, Jensen Huang, and a representative for Nvidia's board did not reply to requests for comment. Alice Huang could not be reached for comment. Jensen Huang admitted to an affair in a November 8 statement following the reports of his relationship with Alice Huang, without referring to her by name. The former Nvidia CEO's decision to resign from the company could disrupt the AI industry that he helped shape. Nvidia has used its financial strength to help create an industry around AI through complex financial arrangements that ease the purchase of the company's chips. It has backed c
