Nvidia's leadership vacuum could create a unique opportunity for its customers

Jensen Huang's resignation leaves Nvidia facing a leadership crisis. With an interim CEO and no clear successor, what comes next for the AI chip giant?

It's technically 2026 AD, but the tech industry is now in 1 AJ (After Jensen).

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation Thursday closed a chaotic chapter for the chip giant. Huang turned gaming chips into the engine of the AI boom, building an empire in the process. In the end, Nvidia's biggest risk was its founder himself.

But the saga isn't over. His unique org structure and lack of succession planning mean there's still a lot of mess to clean up.

(Speaking of messes, Huang's resignation was followed by a report of yet another "intimate relationship" with an Nvidia employee.)

BI's Sarah E. Needleman and Tim Paradis have more on why flat organizations built around powerful founders are great … until they're not.

Now it's the job of Colette Kress, Nvidia's longtime CFO and interim CEO, to calm nerves and steady the $4 trillion ship. She'll have the help of veteran tech investor Harvey Jones, an Nvidia board member since 1993, who was named the company's first chairman. Read the memos they sent to employees after the shakeup.

In a bit of an eerie twist, Huang talked about succession plans just a few weeks ago. But his comments offered little in the way of concrete plans.

Nvidia's biggest challenge could be maintaining stability as major changes still loom.
