According to The Washington Post, 黄仁勋—who often joked that no one could replace him as 英伟达's co-founder and CEO after more than three decades—suddenly resigned this week, leaving 英伟达 with the difficult task of finding a successor. A source said that despite keeping a low profile, he is taking part in the succession process and has spoken with at least one potential candidate; Harvard Business School professor Andy Wu called it the hardest CEO vacancy to fill in the past 10–20 years, given the highly technical chip business and expansion into fields such as autonomous vehicles and robotics, where people with both an electrical engineering PhD and strong management skills are rare. 泰 · 金 (Tae Kim), author of The 英伟达 Way, noted that 黄仁勋 served as chief technology evangelist, chief product visionary, chief business strategist and CMO while also personally recruiting and cultivating talent as a de facto CHRO, and said the board must stabilize these people and ensure 英伟达 can retain the top talent 黄仁勋 cultivated.

Report: After stepping down, 黄仁勋 is involved in selecting a successor and has spoken with at least one candidate for 英伟达's new CEO

IT之家 November 15 news: According to a report by The Washington Post, for years, 黄仁勋 has often joked that as the co-founder and CEO of 英伟达, having run the company for more than three decades, almost no one could replace him.

"There will never be another me," he said in an interview in January this year. "The reason is that I grew up in this company step by step."

However, 黄仁勋's sudden resignation this week has forced 英伟达 to confront a thorny problem: finding a successor for a CEO who has long cast himself as "irreplaceable."

A source said that despite keeping a low profile, 黄仁勋 is currently taking part in the succession process and has already spoken with at least one potential candidate.

IT之家 notes that Harvard Business School professor Andy Wu (Andy Wu) calls it "the hardest CEO vacancy to fill in the past 10 to 20 years." 英伟达's highly technical chip business means only someone with an engineering background can thoroughly understand its core technology, while the company's current business landscape spans many fields such as self-driving cars and robotics.

Andy Wu said, "People who hold a PhD in electrical engineering and also possess outstanding management ability are rare to begin with."

泰 · 金 (Tae Kim), author of the book "The 英伟达 Way," pointed out that 黄仁勋 holds multiple roles within the company, which makes him extremely hard to replace. "He is chief technology evangelist, chief product visionary, chief business strategist, and chief marketing officer, while also personally recruiting talent and cultivating key people, acting as chief human resources officer."

泰 · 金 believes that 英伟达's future prospects depend in part on whether the company can retain the core executives under 黄仁勋, because they carry the company's corporate culture and core experience. "The board must now hold these people steady," 泰 · 金 said, "and ensure that 英伟达 can keep the top talent that 黄仁勋 cultivated."
