Briefings
Nvidia's board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang and appoint Colette Kress as interim CEO, with Johny Srouji considered as a potential permanent replacement. This follows media reports of Huang's second extramarital affair, prompting a board meeting with the White House. Srouji, who joined Apple in 2008, has been rumored to threaten leaving for Intel CEO Tim Cook in 2019, though he later claimed loyalty. The article notes Nvidia's board leaked this information to the White House, but the specific timing of the board's decision remains unclear.
Key points
- Nvidia's board is preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang and appoint Colette Kress as interim CEO, following media reports of Huang's second extramarital affair.
- Johny Srouji, Apple's hardware chief, is being considered for the permanent top job, though the article notes uncertainty about whether this is wishful thinking or a genuine interest.
Context

Limitations
The article reports that Nvidia's board is preparing to oust Huang and appoint Kress as interim CEO, but does not specify the exact date of the board's decision or the timing of the meeting with the White House. It also does not confirm whether Srouji has indicated receptiveness to the offer or if his previous comments about leaving for Intel CEO Tim Cook were genuine or part of a threat.
