WSJ: Jensen Huang doesn’t believe in succession planning, and Nvidia investors are now pricing that risk.
Instead of naming an heir, the 63-year-old Jensen runs a flat company with about 60 direct reports, saying constant knowledge-sharing creates many possible successors.
Nvidia’s own “definitive proxy statement” (that they file with SEC) warns that failing to plan succession well could hurt its strategy, execution and long-term success.
A successor could take over his operating duties, but not his direct line to President Trump and the foreign officials he lobbies on chip exports.
