Nvidia Head of IR says leaving for ‘startup CFO opportunity’

Simona Jankowski, Vice President, Head of Investor Relations & Strategic Finance at NVIDIA, stated in a LinkedIn post: “After seven amazing years, I have decided to leave NVIDIA for a startup CFO opportunity (more on that in a future post). It was not an easy decision. NVIDIA has been close to my heart for over two decades. As a newly minted equity research analyst at Goldman Sachs in 2001, my first assignment was building the NVDA financial model, and I met Jensen Huang as part of our initiation of coverage. I loved following the stock throughout the 2000s – cool product launches, rapid technology advances, supply chain trips to Taiwan, Q&As with Jensen, the birth of CUDA – these were fertile ground for many tech deep dives and (mostly good) stock calls. It helped me make my name as an analyst and I learned a lot.”
