On the heels of founder Jensen Huang's resignation as CEO of Nvidia, new interim CEO Colette Kress and board chair Harvey Jones sent emails to employees Thursday expressing gratitude and optimism for the future.
CNBC obtained copies of the emails from a source familiar with the matter, who said Jones sent the first email and Kress replied shortly after.

"The Board, Estaff and I recognize that this has been an extraordinarily difficult period and I want you to know how grateful we are for your resilience, professionalism and continued dedication," Kress wrote in her email.
The term Estaff is commonly used to refer to executive staff, the group of direct reports to C-suite executives at a company. Nvidia will host a company meeting on November 18 at 9am PST, her email said.
