Eyal Waldman, Mellanox CEO, is leaving the networking equipment company he founded, six months after its $7bn acquisition by Nvidia.
Waldman, who pocketed an estimated $270m, told Globes: “When we closed the deal, I already knew that I was leaving. You build a company over 21 years and make all the decisions and you don’t want to be number two.”
Waldman is an outspoken entrepreneur, know for his “left-leaning political views”. For example, last month the company hired 100 outsourced Palestinian sub-contractors as salaried employees. Waldman has also opposed an Israeli government proposal to annex parts of the West Bank.

Inside Nvidia: Managing talent in a $3 trillion empire
When the deal for the acquisition of Mellanox by the American chip giant Nvidia was being negotiated, Gideon Rosenberg, Head of HR Israel and Deputy General Counsel at Nvida, was a senior member of Mellanox’s legal department. He provided legal support throughout the process, and after the purchase and merger were completed in April 2020, he, like the other Mellanox employees, transitioned to become an Nvidia employee. Nvidia has since grown to become one of the largest employers in Israel's high-tech sector.
Mellanox, founded bygd Eyal Waldman, was sold for $6.9 billion, marking the second-largest exit in Israel's history and Nvidia's largest acquisition to date. Since then, Nvidia's marknad value has skyrocketed from $180 billion to nearly $3 trillion, making it the most valuable chip company globally and one of the five largest companies in the world. In Israel, Nvidia's workforce has almost double
