Exclusive: Nvidia taps new corporate comms chief

Zoom in: Soellner will take the lead in shaping Nvidia's corporate narrative and media relations.

• She'll report to Mylene Mangalindan, who oversees all of Nvidia's communications.

Catch up quick: Soellner spent nearly nine years at Reddit before leaving in March 2025 to care for an ailing parent.

• At Reddit, she dealt with high-profile and politically thorny issues, like the moderating and eventual banning of communities like r/AltRight.
• During her tenure, public perception of Reddit shifted from a fringe corner of the internet to a mainstream, advertiser-friendly, publicly traded company.

Zoom out: One of Nvidia's main communications challenges is managing public unease over how quickly AI has shown up in everyday life.

• The company's stock has surged more than 800% in the last five years as its chip sales soar, particularly for data centers.

What's next: The next major date on Nvidia's communications calendar is its Aug. 26 earnings report, a closely watched gauge of whether the AI boom is still accelerating.
