NVIDIA Q3 FY2027 earnings call · audio webcast, listen-only
Page date: 2026-11-12 (no time or time zone shown)
NVIDIA’s Board announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately. Colette Kress, EVP and CFO, becomes Interim CEO and continues as CFO until a permanent successor is named. Harvey C. Jones was appointed the company’s first-ever Chair of the Board. The Board is starting a search for a permanent CEO and will consider internal and external candidates. Third-quarter results will still be reported on November 17 as scheduled. The release does not mention the status or findings of the independent investigation, or any continuing role for Huang.
Circulating claim with no source · spread before the official announcement of 2026-11-12
The rumor said “the board approved Huang’s resignation and Jay Puri will succeed him.” NVIDIA’s November 12 announcement confirmed the resignation, but not the succession: it names Colette Kress as Interim CEO, and Jay Puri does not appear anywhere in it. The succession part of the rumor is contradicted by the official announcement.
Published: 2026-11-12 05:13 EST (CNBC) · 08:03 GMT (The Next Web)
These reports predate the official announcement. CNBC said at the time that NVIDIA had made no public statement about Huang’s future; The Next Web said no decision had been announced by the end of Wednesday night. Names floated as a possible interim CEO were analysts’ speculation at that point. See the entry above for the announcement that followed.
Event: evening of Wed 2026-11-11, US time; exact time not reported · Published: 17:06 EST (CNBC), 20:11 EST (CNN)
CNBC said it had confirmed the Board was meeting to decide whether to replace the CEO; CNN cited two people familiar with the matter. Both credit The Wall Street Journal with reporting it first. A report that a meeting took place is not a decision. NVIDIA did not respond to requests for comment.

The independent members of the NVIDIA Board said they have retained Joon H. Kim, former acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct the independent investigation announced on Sunday.
Published: 2026-11-08 15:12 EST / 16:50 EST (CNBC)
This reflects November 8 and has been superseded by the November 12 announcement. According to CNBC, NVIDIA told it that day that Huang is committed to continuing to lead the company without interruption. CNBC also covered the background to the investigation; the underlying allegations come from reporting by The New York Times and the Financial Times and have not been established.
Page date: Sun 2026-11-08 (no time or time zone shown)
The Board said it is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort, overseen by a committee of independent directors with outside independent counsel. The statement says the Board has no reason to believe national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, that Huang supports and will cooperate with the review, and that the Board has confidence in him and his leadership team.
Page date: 2026-11-08 (the page says the email was sent “earlier today”; no time zone shown)
NVIDIA published the email Huang sent to employees. In it he apologizes to his family and colleagues for his personal conduct, takes full responsibility, says he supports and will fully cooperate with the Board's investigation, and asks for privacy for his family. This site respects that request and does not go into private details.
Per CNBC: first reported by The New York Times on Fri 2026-11-06 · CNBC published: 2026-11-08 13:06 EST
CNBC said The New York Times first reported on Friday on a government memo involving Huang. This entry relies on CNBC's account; the allegations are reported claims and have not been established by any investigation.
