Jensen Huang steps down: Who is Nvidia’s new chairman?
Nvidia announced the appointment of Harvey C. Jones as the company’s first-ever board chairman.
He has an impressive track record:
• Co-founded Daisy Systems in 1981 and served as its CEO;
• Led Synopsys from 1987 to 1998, serving first as CEO and then as executive chairman;
• Co-founded chip IP company Tensilica in 1997, which was acquired by Cadence in 2013;
• Has served as managing partner at Square Wave Ventures since 2004;
• Joined Nvidia’s board in 1993 and has served on it for 33 years.
He also holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and computer science from Georgetown University and a master’s degree in management from MIT.
From EDA and chip IP to venture capital, he has witnessed several major transformations in the modern semiconductor industry.
Notably, Jones is taking over as chairman, not CEO. Nvidia is still searching for a long-term CEO.
