## Key points

- Nvidia’s flat structure relies heavily on Jensen Huang.
- His departure could slow coordination and technical work.
- Experts expect pressure to build a deeper management hierarchy.

## Summary

Management experts say Nvidia’s flat organisational structure depends heavily on chief executive Jensen Huang, who coordinates senior leaders and makes decisions across the company. If he were to leave, the absence of a comparable figure could slow technical work and make it difficult to choose an internal successor.

The structure has advantages: fewer management layers can empower local leaders and help the company manage a transition. But Huang reportedly has dozens of direct reports, and experts say no one else has his broad view of the business; one predicts Nvidia may move towards a more traditional hierarchy.
