Following the Thursday, November 11, resignation of co-founder Jensen Huang from his position at the helm of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), the company’s chief financial officer (CFO), Colette Kress, was selected as the interim CEO.
While a major NVDA shareholder, the firm’s CFO is far from the largest in the semiconductor giant. Specifically, the most recent publicly available documents indicate her stake amounts to 4,775,733 – just above 4.77 million – Nvidia shares.
At the blue-chip chipmaker’s latest closing price of $166.19, this overall position means that interim CEO Colette Kress holds approximately $793,68 million worth of stock.

For comparison, co-founder Jensen Huang owns approximately 811 million NVDA shares worth nearly $135 billion, Director Mark Stevens 27.5 million worth $4.57 billion, and Director Tench Coxe slightly more than 28 million worth $4.66 billion.
Here’s how much Nvidia stock interim CEO Colette Kress sold in 2026
Meanwhile, CFO Kress has been a relatively regular Nvidia stock seller in 2026, akin to Stevens, and unlike both Coxe and Huang.
Since January 1, she has disclosed four such insider trades, dumping a total of 192,848 shares and raising approximately $35.78 million. Former CEO Jensen Huang and Director Tench Coxe filed zero sales and Director Mark Stevens executed six in 2026.
Stevens also moved a total of 6.34 million NVDA and made a total of $1.39 billion, accounting for the majority of the year-to-date (YTD) insider volume.
Finally, the semiconductor giant’s insiders disclosed twenty-three Nvidia stock sales, making interim CEO Colette Kress responsible for 17.39% of the total.
Rocked by scandals and AI bubble anxiety, Nvidia stock plummets 30%
Elsewhere, the CFO’s sudden promotion to interim CEO came as both Jensen Huang and the semiconductor giant itself were rocked by a series of scandals, allegedly involving both a Chinese spying operation and a seeming scheme to at least partially circumvent U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) chip export restrictions to the People’s Republic.

Amidst this turmoil, Nvidia stock suffered a 10.96% drop between the Friday, November 6 close and the Thursday, November 12 closing bell. Still, it is worth remembering that NVDA shares were already struggling and had declined 22% since the October 6 highs due to growing anxiety regarding the AI bubble.
Still, the future appears generally uncertain, yet certainly volatile. The Friday, November pre-market saw a 2.49% recovery to $170.32 by press time, while, internally, Nvidia employees are reportedly clamouring for Jensen Huang to be reinstated.
