The Big Take
Jensen Huang's 700,000% Return Magnifies Nvidia Succession Crisis
The board is probing whether its CEO was targeted by a foreign agent and facing the risk of a future without its singular leader.
The office of Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang has an unusual setup: The chief executive officer sits at an enormous oval desk facing his lieutenants, with room for more employees in stadium seating behind them.
