Jensen Huang to join Tim Cook-chaired advisory board at Beijing’s Tsinghua University

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reported to be joining an advisory board at Beijing’s Tsinghua University, a university widely described as among China’s most prestigious. Multiple outlets say the board is chaired by Apple’s outgoing CEO Tim Cook. The Financial Times is cited as the basis for the report, which also highlights that the board includes prominent global business and technology leaders. Reported members include Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, and Michael Dell, among others. One outlet also notes the board covers the School of Economics and Management. The articles further describe the university’s prominence, referencing that Chinese President Xi Jinping attended Tsinghua as an undergraduate. While the coverage emphasizes Huang’s entry into the group, it also frames the development in the broader context of maintaining business ties with China. One outlet ties the timing of Huang’s move to recent travel to China, though the reports do not provide additional operational details about how he will participate in the advisory role.
