Before the cheating scandal broke, 黄仁勋 had discussed succession plans: hopes the next CEO will come from within Nvidia

IT Home, November 12 news: Nvidia CEO 黄仁勋, weeks before an extramarital affair controversy rocked the company, had talked about his own succession. In an interview on Bloomberg's "The Circuit" program recorded on October 14 and released today, 黄仁勋 discussed his succession arrangements: "Just as I could be fired, the next CEO also has to be hired by the company."

黄仁勋, who has led Nvidia for 33 years, has a son and a daughter, both of whom work at Nvidia. His daughter 黄敏珊 serves as Senior Director of Product Marketing for Embodied AI, while his son 黄胜斌 serves as Director of Robotics Product.

When asked whether his daughter would succeed him, 黄仁勋 replied: "First of all, I don't want her to take this job. Because if 黄胜斌 or 黄敏珊 had such an ambition, they would have to earn it themselves."

According to IT Home's recent reports, this interview content was made public as Nvidia went through a turbulent week. First, on the 9th, 黄仁勋 admitted he had been "unfaithful" to his wife; then earlier today, The New York Times, citing five former employees, reported that 黄仁勋 had also had another extramarital affair with Kimberly 鲍威尔, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare business, who reported directly to him.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to replace 黄仁勋. After the news came out, Nvidia's stock price fell as much as 8% in after-hours trading.

Nvidia's management structure is known for being flat, with 黄仁勋 directly managing as many as 60 subordinates, making it hard for outsiders to tell who is truly the company's number two.

When 黄仁勋 was interviewed by Bloomberg, he talked about succession arrangements and the responsibilities of a CEO. He hopes the next CEO will come from within Nvidia, and at the time he had no plans to leave soon: "I genuinely hope the next CEO is already inside the company. However, 20 years from now, I hope I am still healthy, and I hope I can still create value for the company."

The interview revealed that cultivating Nvidia's own next CEO is also 黄仁勋's responsibility: "We should create the conditions for the company's continued development and ensure that the next leader is already working within Nvidia."

Speaking about the responsibility that comes with the CEO role, 黄仁勋 emphasized: "I bear responsibility for the entire industry. The pressure of being CEO is enormous, and that pressure should be enormous."
