Jensen Huang currently holds only the status of an NVIDIA shareholder, with a shareholding ratio of approximately 3.6%, and no other positions have been arranged.
November 12 — The NVIDIA board of directors announced today that Jensen Huang is resigning from all positions as President, Chief Executive Officer, and board member of the company, effective immediately. The company has not arranged for him to serve in any advisory or other formal role. Current CFO Colette Kress has been appointed interim CEO, and the board has initiated a formal search for a successor.
Jensen Huang's current relationship with NVIDIA is solely that of a major shareholder, holding approximately 3.6% (previously disclosed as about 871 million shares, most of which are held jointly with his wife), with a massive market value, placing him among the top major investors. As an ordinary shareholder, he enjoys corresponding voting rights and economic interests, but cannot unilaterally control the board or company decisions (NVIDIA has a single class of common stock structure, with no dual-class super-voting rights).
In its announcement, NVIDIA only emphasized his contributions over the past 33 years and that the company will continue to move forward on the foundation he built, without mentioning any transitional advisory role, honorary title, consulting arrangement, or other ongoing management/decision-making role.
