Nvidia's board held a meeting to consider the future of management and views 2 internal candidates, CFO Collette Kress (コレット・クレス) and senior executive Ian Buck (イアン・バック), as leading contenders to succeed the CEO. Kress joined the company in 2013 and has served as CFO for many years, while she was regarded as suitable to serve as interim CEO. Buck, meanwhile, has been recognised for his technical contributions to CUDA and AI product development.
Reports on the matter say that Nvidia's market capitalisation declined by approximately $600 billion over the past week, prompting views that the company had lost its position as the world's most valuable company. Reports by the NYT and others have also covered the matter.
Reports about the private life of CEO Jensen Huang (ジェンスン・ファン) have also continued, and Nvidia appointed a law firm to oversee an independent investigation into the matter. Alongside reports of an alleged affair involving Huang (黄), information concerning a relationship involving Kimberly Powell, vice president of global healthcare business, has also been circulating.
