NVIDIA today announced that it has named to its board of directors Melissa Lora, who spent three decades as an executive at Taco Bell Corp., a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., before retiring in 2018 as president of Taco Bell International.

She has also been appointed to the board's Audit Committee.

"Melissa is a great addition to our board of directors," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "She brings senior management and operating experience, as well as extensive finance expertise, gained in a large corporate setting. We will benefit immensely from her guidance."




Lora, 61, holds a B.S. in finance from California State University, Long Beach, and an M.B.A. in corporate finance from University of Southern California. She also serves on the boards of directors of KB Home, where she is lead independent director, and Conagra Brands, Inc., where she is chairperson of the Audit & Finance Committee.

Lora's appointment expands NVIDIA's board to 14 members.

Is this where we pretend a valuation based on potential future AI sales is rocket science? Or is it where we pretend accounting is chip design and production?

An accountant is an accountant and money moves the same ways whether it's taco bell or Nvidia.

Damn it, y'all are disappointing me with the comments - I came here looking SPECIFICALLY for jokes about Taco Bell-meets-Nvidia....and y'all came up with NOTHING?!

Fine, guess it's up to me. Ready?

From now on, all Nvidia GPUs will come with toilet paper - 2 rolls for x60 class, 3 for x70 class, a 6 pack for x80 class, and one of those Costco-sized packs with the purchase of a x90 class.... Oh, and a free taco or bean and cheese burrito.

You're welcome. :D :roll:
