Hard to imagine that could have been the case given that he was Nvidia's CEO from the very beginning.

My understanding is that he has been very hands on, but it's also not that unusual for people who have built successful businesses to "check out" once the role chances from building an early-stage company to growing a large one. Whether or not that works obviously greatly depend on whether the people around them can take up the slack.
