Nvidia approaches Arm CEO Rene Haas as potential successor to Jensen Huang

thestar.com.my —

Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang, who stepped down Thursday following revelations of extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy, plunging the chipmaker into crisis. Haas spent seven years at Nvidia, rising to vice president and general manager of its computing products business, before joining Arm in 2013. He is among several candidates considered, with no guarantee of an offer or acceptance, according to the Financial Times. Nvidia's finance chief Colette Kress serves as interim CEO. Haas became Arm CEO in 2022 and oversaw its 2023 Nasdaq listing. Arm's shares pared losses after the report, while Nvidia's fell over 3%.
