Israeli tech leaders in running to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO

jpost.com —

Three Israeli tech leaders are reportedly being considered to replace Jensen Huang as NVIDIA CEO: Michael Kagan, NVIDIA's CTO; Johny Srouji, Apple's chief hardware officer; and Eyal Waldman, Mellanox's founder and former CEO. Kagan and Waldman co-founded Mellanox, an Israeli networking company NVIDIA acquired in 2020 for about $7 billion. Waldman brings CEO experience, while Kagan has insider knowledge from his years at NVIDIA. Srouji's edge is his success developing Apple's silicon strategy, though he was only promoted to his current role in April 2026. Huang resigned following reported affairs with two employees and a woman U.S. intelligence deemed a Chinese spy. Interim CEO Colette Kress, Ian Buck, Arm's Rene Haas, AMD's Lisa Su, and AWS's Matt Garman are also candidates. President Trump has publicly suggested former Apple CEO Tim Cook for the role.
