Nvidia Board Deliberates CEO’s Future
Nvidia’s board convened on Wednesday evening to discuss the potential continuation of its CEO’s tenure within the company.
The BBC reached out to representatives and board members of Nvidia for comments regarding the situation but did not receive a response.
Board Composition and Removal Procedures
Nvidia’s board consists of 11 members, including CEO Jensen Huang. According to reports from Reuters, the board has the authority to remove the CEO with or without cause through a majority vote.
Potential Leadership Succession
If the board opts to dismiss Huang or place him on leave, it remains uncertain who could take on the leadership role, even on a temporary basis.
One candidate for the position could be Chris Malachowsky, co-founder of Nvidia, who has been with the company since its inception and previously led product engineering.
Internal Candidates Considered
Additionally, Huang’s family members—his children Spencer and Madison, along with his son-in-law Nico Caprez—hold senior positions at Nvidia. However, they are perceived as relatively inexperienced.
Analysts suggest that Colette Kress, the Chief Financial Officer, could serve as an interim CEO. Armina Rosenberg, co-founder of Minotaur Capital, which holds shares in Nvidia, indicated that Kress would be a logical choice for this role, according to Reuters.
