IT Home reported on November 12 that Harvey Jones, who became NVIDIA’s first chair of the board after Jensen Huang resigned as NVIDIA’s president, chief executive officer and board member, issued an internal memo to NVIDIA employees.
Jones has more than 30 years of experience in entrepreneurship, technology company management and venture capital, and previously served as CEO and executive chairman of Synopsys.
Reuters obtained a copy of the memo. IT Home’s translation follows:
Dear NVIDIA Employees:
I am writing to share an important decision. Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO and a board member. The board has appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Colette Kress as interim CEO while it searches for a permanent successor among internal and external candidates. I will serve as the company’s first-ever chair of the board.
During her more than 13 years as CFO, Colette has been a key architect of NVIDIA’s business growth and capital strategy. She has an exceptionally deep understanding of the company’s business and the markets in which it operates. The board has full confidence that Colette can lead the company in fulfilling its commitments to shareholders, customers, partners and every employee.
Jensen Huang has made profound contributions to NVIDIA. NVIDIA is one of the world’s most influential technology companies. We pioneered accelerated computing, defined the modern GPU and built the core platform driving the development of artificial intelligence.
The board feels the weight of its responsibility and will fulfill its duties to safeguard this great company.
NVIDIA’s strength lies in all its employees, its leadership team, its technical capabilities and its partner ecosystem. I firmly believe that, under Colette’s leadership and with the board’s full support, the company’s business will continue to grow and it will continue to lead the industry forward. Thank you for your focus, professionalism and steadfast dedication to NVIDIA.
Harvey Jones
Chair, NVIDIA Board of Directors
