Harvey C. Jones has been named the first chair in Nvidia’s history, as the company restructures its leadership following Jensen Huang’s resignation as CEO, president and director. Until now, Nvidia never had a separate board chair, with Huang serving as the dominant figure at the top. Jones has spent more than 30 years as an entrepreneur, technology executive and venture investor. He is best known for his time as chief executive and later executive chairman of Synopsys, the chip design software company that became a key supplier to the semiconductor industry. He is also one of Nvidia’s longest-serving directors, having joined its board in the company’s early years. In Nvidia’s announcement, Jones said the board has full confidence in interim CEO Colette Kress and her team, and expects operations, customer commitments and the product roadmap to continue without disruption. He will now oversee the search for a permanent CEO.
