Nvidia’s new interim CEO, Colette Kress, has a direct line to Israel. In a 2023 interview with the Israeli business outlet Globes, she said her day starts with meetings with Nvidia’s Israeli executives: “My day starts with Israel meetings, and only then continues to California.”
Kress takes over after Jensen Huang’s resignation. Israel is one of Nvidia’s largest bases outside the United States. About 12 percent of its employees, roughly 3,200 people, work there, according to Globes.
