Huang’s ousting puts governance in the spotlight

The article argues that Jensen Huang’s reported removal from Nvidia after a scandal has brought corporate governance into focus. Huang led the chipmaker for more than 30 years, and his departure, the writer says, exposes the risks of relying heavily on one powerful founder while leaving succession planning and board oversight weak.

Nvidia shares fell 10 per cent since the start of the week and 20 per cent over the past month, according to the article. It says Huang had as many as 60 executives reporting directly to him and owned 3.6 per cent of the company, while some founder-led rivals use dual-share structures that make their leaders harder to remove. The article contrasts this concentration of power with the UK Corporate Governance Code, but the supplied text ends before explaining its provisions.
