Duan Yongping: Jensen Huang's Departure Won't Affect Nvidia's Business in the Short Term, May Exert Influence as 'Shadow CEO'

BlockBeats news, November 13 - Renowned investor Duan Yongping stated in a post that Jensen Huang's departure may be the final decision made by Nvidia's board of directors. It will not affect Nvidia's business in the short term, but whether the company can maintain its competitive advantage in the coming years depends on finding a suitable successor CEO. Jensen Huang is hardworking and has forward-looking insights into the AI industry's development, and finding a successor who possesses both qualities is not easy. Nvidia's business model is highly dependent on an excellent management team. If the management's capabilities and execution cannot be maintained, the company's competitiveness over the next 3 to 5 years may be affected. However, the AI industry is still in its early stages of development and is expected to maintain good growth momentum over the next decade.

Regarding whether Jensen Huang might return in the future, Duan Yongping said that if the reasons for his departure still exist, Jensen Huang most likely will not return as CEO. However, Nvidia may also consider inviting him to serve as a consultant or in other roles, continuing to exert influence in a manner similar to a "shadow CEO" but no longer bearing formal signing responsibilities. Relevant arrangements may not reach a clear conclusion before the hearing ends, and the final outcome may still require some time.
