Why Nobody Can Replace Jensen Huang (Apple Did This With Steve Jobs)

Nvidia's board let Jensen Huang walk out after 33 years. Now it has to fill a job nobody ever wrote down, and Apple already showed what that mistake costs. In 1985 Apple backed John Sculley over Steve Jobs. Getting Jobs back took 12 years, three chief executives and $429 million. This video writes the job advert Nvidia never had: three things Jensen Huang did that no candidate has done. Then it tests Colette Kress, Rene Haas, Lisa Su and Tim Cook against it.

Jensen Huang resigned; he has not been charged with any crime, and an investigation is still open. Where a claim is our reading rather than a reported fact, the video says so. Nothing here is financial advice. #Nvidia #JensenHuang #SteveJobs
