Apple Silicon chief Johny Srouji eyed as potential Nvidia CEO replacement
Nvidia's board is reportedly considering replacing CEO Jensen Huang, with Apple Silicon chief Johny Srouji named as a potential external candidate following controversy over Huang's affair with an alleged Chinese spy. The board met on November 11, 2026, to discuss Huang's removal, which requires only a majority vote from its 11 directors. An unnamed source told Semafor that Srouji is under consideration, though Nvidia has also hired an outside agency for the search and may promote interim CEO Colette Kress. Srouji, 61, led Apple's transition from Intel to Apple Silicon and was considered for Intel's CEO role in 2019. Nvidia's shares have dropped sharply, losing over $800 billion in one day after the first affair revelation, amid broader AI market declines.
