Nvidia approaches Arm CEO Rene Haas to replace Jensen Huang, FT reports

freemalaysiatoday.com —

Nvidia has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas about succeeding Jensen Huang, who resigned Thursday amid 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 and becoming its CEO in 2022. He is among several candidates, with no guarantee of an offer, and Nvidia's board said speculation is premature. Analysts view Haas as a rare external fit due to his Nvidia familiarity and public-company leadership experience. Other candidates include CFO Colette Kress, interim CEO, and engineer Ian Buck, with external names like AMD's Lisa Su also discussed.
