Ex-Medtronic CEO slams Nvidia board: no tech expertise, no Jensen Huang succession plan
ceciletamura · x · 2026-11-14
Former Medtronic CEO Bill George told Yahoo Finance that Nvidia has one of the weakest boards he's ever seen at a major company, noting a high-tech company whose board includes Taco Bell and NFL executives but no high-tech people.
George said the board only began scrutinizing Jensen Huang carefully in the fall and has no succession plan lined up, with NVDA down six straight weeks — meaning the world's most valuable company may run a CEO search with no bench.
