- The Verge · AIFeaturedJensen Huang and the decline of the visionary showman founder CEO
A commentary piece argues that Jensen Huang's departure from Nvidia marks the end of Big Tech's last visionary showman founder CEO, recounting his leather-jacketed keynotes, his early bets on CUDA and Riva 128, and Nvidia's rise to a $5 trillion company. Analysts quoted say Nvidia's roadmap and supply chain are locked in through 2027, but the loss of a founder with no named successor and roughly 60 direct reports leaves a leadership and vision gap.
