Bessent: Nvidia should pick new CEO from outside company

khaleejtimes.com —

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that Nvidia must hire a new CEO from outside the company following Jensen Huang's abrupt resignation last week amid revelations of extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy. Bessent told Fox News that the board needs a "dramatic shakeup" given what occurred internally, and he demanded that Nvidia's board and outside counsel answer questions within 10 days about the company's compliance culture regarding export restrictions. Nvidia's board has reportedly approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential replacement for Huang, according to the Financial Times, as the chipmaker navigates the leadership crisis.
