The Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous source, reported that former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang described Collette Kress, now the company’s interim CEO, as “a deer in the headlights” during a presentation earlier in the summer. The report said Huang also questioned whether Kress could help steer strategy or decision-making.
