Nvidia Appoints Longtime Director as Chairman After Resignation of Co-Founder
A veteran board member who joined the semiconductor giant in 1993 has been named chairman following the departure of co-founder Jensen Huang.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Nvidia has appointed a veteran board member who has served on its board of directors since 1993 as its new chairman. The leadership change comes in the wake of co-founder Jensen Huang’s resignation from the semiconductor giant.
The newly appointed chairman holds a 0.03 percent stake in the technology corporation, according to regulatory disclosures. Having served as a director for over three decades, he is one of the company's longest-tenured board members, guiding the firm through its transition from a graphics card developer into a dominant power in artificial intelligence hardware.
The transition marks a significant shift for the Santa Clara-based enterprise following the departure of Huang, who helped found Nvidia in 1993 and served as its chief executive officer and board chairman throughout its growth.
Nvidia's board governance structure maintains oversight as the firm navigates expanding international supply chains and sustained global demand for specialized microchips. The board is expected to guide executive leadership through the operational transition while preserving current commercial strategies.
The corporate appointment takes effect immediately. Further updates regarding executive succession and long-term governance plans will be detailed in upcoming regulatory filings.
