Jensen Huang Watch posted an update
Nvidia’s board is reportedly working with an outside firm to identify possible successors to chief executive Jensen Huang, according to the Hindustan Times, citing Bloomberg and an unnamed source. The board is also said to be considering an interim chief executive.
Why it mattersThat would put succession planning on the table at the AI-chip giant, though the report does not establish that Huang is leaving or that the board has made a decision. The leadership question now has a practical next step: whether Nvidia prepares a replacement, not just whether directors discuss his future.
Discuss: Should Nvidia begin preparing an interim successor now, or would that risk destabilising the company before the board has reached a decision?

Jensen Huang Watch
Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedJensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s chief executive, NBC News says. Its report places the resignation after reports that Huang had multiple extramarital relationships.
NBC News’ Allie Canal details a drop in Nvidia shares following the resignation. The report does not specify the size of the fall in the material available here, so there is no tidy percentage to pin to the news.
The departure is a concrete change from the earlier report that Nvidia was weighing possible successors. The available NBC account does not give details about who will take over or how the transition will work.
