Nvidia Director Persis Drell Resigns with Significant Stock Gains

Nvidia Director Persis Drell Resigns with Significant Stock Gains

Persis Drell, a director on Nvidia's board, has resigned to pursue a new job.

She joined the board in 2015 and is leaving with 1,43,000 Nvidia shares worth about $26 million.

This is a huge increase from when she joined, as the stock price has gone up by 22,000% since then.

Nvidia is a very valuable company, and its stock has done really well.

Drell was also a professor at Stanford University and had important roles there, like being the dean of the engineering school and the provost.

Her resignation is not because of any problems with Nvidia, and the company's board now has 10 directors.
