On Saturday, November 14, 2026, Jensen Huang resigned, and now Nvidia must decide whether to keep the one-on-one meeting ban that its former CEO refused to abandon.
Colette Kress, Nvidia interim CEO and chief financial officer, has stepped up on an interim basis while the board weighs a permanent successor, but she has not said if she will keep Huang's rejection of routine catch ups.
Huang, who once said at Stanford that he did not do one-on-one meetings with any of his reports, argued frequent meetings would clutter his schedule and get in the way of the broader team's ability to address challenges, work effectively and stay transparent. He said he still regularly caught up with executives, gave constant reviews instead of formal ones, and would drop everything for an employee who genuinely needed him.
