Just months before he was ousted from Nvidia, former CEO Jensen Huang tore into the finance executive who has now been tapped to replace him.

Huang, 63, branded Colette Kress 'a deer in the headlights' to her face during a meeting with Nvidia's top financial officers in August, an insider told the Wall Street Journal.

At the time, Nvidia was considering backing billions of dollars in loans for smaller cloud and data-center companies that couldn't afford its chips in hopes of turning those firms into long-term customers.

Kress, 59, was trying to offer solutions to the issue, but Huang repeatedly interrupted her presentation, the source said.

He referred to Kress as a 'reporting CFO' and said she was not someone who could assist him in making strategic decisions, the insider reported.

But Kress, who has worked at Nvidia since 2013, has now been appointed to take the reins as interim CEO as the company looks to appoint a permanent successor.

Huang, who has been married to his wife Lori for over 40 years, resigned from the firm on Thursday after revelations of his three extramarital affairs.

He admitted Sunday to having an affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy. He was also allegedly involved with Nvidia's vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell, and an unnamed third mistress who also worked alongside him at the AI giant.
