The Wall Street Journal reports that Nvidia investors are pricing in the risk of a succession for CEO Jensen Huang, who does not believe in succession planning, according to the report as cited by Rohan Paul on X. The WSJ says Huang, 63, runs a flat company with about 60 direct reports and argues that constant knowledge-sharing creates many possible successors. Nvidia's proxy statement warns that failing to plan succession well could hurt its strategy, execution and long-term success.

TechCrunch's Connie Loizos names possible successors, including AMD CEO Lisa Su, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Bret Taylor, Nvidia VP Ian Buck, Nvidia SVP Andrew Bell and Lori Huang. The article says Nvidia has no apparent succession plan. It also describes Huang as facing a leadership crisis after reports of an extramarital affair, a claim the other reports in this story do not address.
