Colette Kress

Colette Kress's most notable accolade is her consistent recognition as one of the world's most powerful women in business, particularly her #49 ranking on Fortune's 2026 list. This honor reflects her role as CFO of Nvidia during a period when the company became one of the most valuable in history. Her financial stewardship has been critical to Nvidia's ability to capitalize on the AI revolution, and she is frequently cited by analysts as a key reason for the company's strong investor confidence. While she does not collect traditional industry awards, her influence is evident in Nvidia's market performance and her reputation among peers.
