One signal

Jensen Huang has left Nvidia as chief executive, and the board is searching for a permanent successor, Axios reports. Chief financial officer Colette Kress has taken the interim role.

Axios says Huang is expected to testify behind closed doors before a congressional committee next week. His departure does not resolve the investigations into his conduct mentioned in the report. For a company central to the AI chip supply chain, the next leadership choice matters beyond the boardroom. Can Nvidia keep its pace and direction without its long-time chief at the helm?

Discuss: Would you favour an internal successor who knows Nvidia’s machinery, or an outsider better placed to handle its political and industry pressures?
