I place considerable weight on founder leadership, but it should never outweigh business fundamentals.

Founders such as Jensen Huang often provide long-term strategic vision, deep technical expertise and strong customer relationships. Their leadership can be particularly valuable in industries where innovation and execution determine competitive advantage.

However, excessive dependence on one individual creates succession and governance risks. A genuinely resilient company should have capable management, established processes and a competitive advantage that survives its founder's departure.

For Nvidia, I would prioritise customer retention, product-roadmap execution, earnings guidance and management continuity over short-term market reactions.

My investment principle is simple: Invest in businesses, not personalities. Exceptional founders can create enormous shareholder value, but sustainable returns ultimately depend on whether the company can continue delivering without them.

Jensen Huang Resigns: Can Nvidia Hold After a 4.34% Drop?
Nvidia (NVDA) fell 4.34% Thursday (Nov 12) after saying CEO Jensen Huang resigned immediately as president, CEO and director; the stock was down as much as 14.35% intraday. CFO Colette Kress becomes interim CEO, Harvey C. Jones takes the chair, and the board is still seeking a permanent successor, with no reason given. Bulls say the GPU lineup, software ecosystem and contracts won't vanish overnight; bears fear the handover slows R&D, order talks and the valuation premium. Which first validates the worry: succession, cloud procurement, or AMD's share shift?
