Jensen Huang steps down: the hands-on kingmaker behind the AI boom
Jensen Huang, the 63-year-old CEO of Nvidia, stepped down from his position as the company announced on Thursday. Huang's involvement in the AI boom extended beyond writing checks, as he personally dived into problems across the company and helped startups secure customers within Nvidia. His influence reached beyond Silicon Valley, with close ties to President Donald Trump and shaping US chip export policy.
However, his departure has raised concerns about the future of Nvidia and the AI ecosystem he helped create. The bigger challenge now lies in finding someone who can manage the extraordinary business and continue to innovate and anticipate where the industry is heading. Currently, Colette Kress, Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer, is acting as interim CEO while the search for a permanent successor continues.
