A title is a seat. If one person sits in the seat and in the seat that is supposed to argue with it, you do not have a check. You have a longer signature.
On November 12, NVIDIA's board said Jensen Huang resigned as president, chief executive, and a board member, effective immediately. Three badges. One person. One afternoon.
The stand-in does not fix the pile. Colette Kress, CFO since September 2013, is interim CEO and keeps the finance job until a permanent chief executive is named.
You have seen this pull request. The author is the only reviewer. The checkmark is green. Nobody else looked.
They did peel one hat off. Harvey C. Jones is the first chair this board has had.
A chair who is not the chief executive is how a board answers back. Appointing one on the day the founder leaves is the diagram you draw before the outage, not during it.
The successor line is one sentence: internal and external candidates. No name. No date.
"Search started" is a status page. It is not a username.
Earnings did not move. Third-quarter results are still Tuesday, November 17, about 1:20 p.m. PT, with the call at 2.
The calendar refused to participate. The work already had a time.
The new chair expects operations, customer commitments, and the product roadmap to continue without interruption, because a leadership team already runs them. If that is true, the company was not one login. The badges were.
Kress points at a 33-year foundation, then at customers, partners, developers, and shareholders. Useful list. Still one person in the CFO chair.
Skip these:
- Stacking president, CEO, and a board seat on one human and calling it focus.
- Giving the interim the job whose point is to challenge the CEO.
- Creating the chair on the day you need a chair.
- Writing "we are searching" where a name should be.
- Sliding the ship date so the announcement looks calmer.
Count seats, not heroes. Two checks on one login is one check.
