Newly surfaced revelations paint a contentious picture of Jensen Huang’s final days as CEO, marked by a dismissive attitude towards his interim successor, Colette Kress. Prior to his ouster, Huang reportedly belittled Kress, famously characterizing her as “a deer in the headlights,” a sentiment that underscores a deep-seated skepticism regarding her capabilities. This personal animosity appears to have been exacerbated by Kress’s subsequent questioning of some of Huang’s controversial dealmaking, suggesting a power struggle and a clash of visions for the company’s future even as the leadership transition was underway.
