Nvidia’s most awkward day: The chips haven’t lost yet, but the CEO has already exited. Who will take over the AI empire?

One person once brought Nvidia from a gaming graphics card company to the heart of the AI era; now, that same person has suddenly left the business stage he built himself.
That is the greatest drama surrounding Jensen Huang’s departure.
For Nvidia, the biggest challenge is not whether it can still sell GPUs tomorrow, but how to prove the company has a mature management system that does not depend on a single person.
The company has appointed longtime CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and begun the formal process of selecting a successor.
This arrangement is not without advantages. She is familiar with the company’s finances, operations, and business development, and has a deep understanding of Nvidia’s business model.
But being CEO is not as simple as changing desks. Nvidia needs someone to keep driving chip development, coordinating the global supply chain, maintaining relationships with major customers, and making strategic judgments as the AI industry evolves rapidly.
More importantly, can the industry influence Jensen Huang built be sustained by the new leadership team?
That is what investors truly care about.
A great company cannot rely on a single hero forever. The real test is whether the entire team can continue to create miracles after the hero leaves.
Nvidia’s performance from here will become a management lesson for the tech industry. #每周来晒 and #黄仁勋辞职 $NVDA
