Maybe the most competent tech CEO in recent decades, or at least one of. A Steve Jobs and Voznyak, all in one person but with no charisma.

NVIDIA's long-term future will suffer because of it, no matter how correct the decision is

Voznyak, Steve Wozniak's lesser-known Eastern European cousin.

Looks like Woźniak is already Polish. Does that count?

The resignation is evidence that no.

People need to operate across multiple competencies. He failed hard at a few of them.

He also wasn’t a friend of the consumer. I don’t know what Nvidia becomes but he wasn’t good for me personally, or the machines I run.

a CEO doesn't have to be a friend of the consumer- it's not their job. What Jensen made of NVIDIA, now a market leader not just in its original gaming segment, but in compute in general, deserves recognition.

Again, the decision to oust him was correct, but finding someone with a comparable long-term vision and skill is going to be nigh impossible for the company. And sure, bring even more downvotes for that

Maybe you're missing my point: I don't really care about that. I don't use NVIDIA, I don't own any stock, and there will be other GPU stacks for AI. It's tech industry drama and is kinda trashy and compelling in that respect, but NVIDIA did a lot of nasty things for consumers like me and I have to look elsewhere for the performance I want. NVIDIA being led well is not something I care that much about.

I mean, if you set aside banging a Chinese spy and banging a subordinate, whilst married, I guess.
