Category: Private Citizen — Corporate Director Role: Independent Director, Nvidia Corporation Board Tenure: 2013 – present Committee Memberships: Compensation Committee (Chair); Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Profile Type: Board Member Accountability — Anchor B (Documented Organizational Leadership)

> Basis for Inclusion: Dawn Hudson holds a documented governance role at Nvidia Corporation. Nvidia Corporation is the dominant supplier of AI accelerator chips and graphics processing units and made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities. Nvidia’s business is critically affected by U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips to China, the CHIPS Act manufacturing incentives, and the regulatory framework governing AI development — all areas of significant Trump administration policy activity. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

> Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record.

> What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Personal political opinions, party affiliation, or protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion.
