Nvidia board approaches Arm CEO Rene Haas to replace Jensen Huang

hindustantimes.com —

Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang, who resigned Thursday amid revelations of extramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy. CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO. Haas spent seven years at Nvidia before joining Arm in 2013 and became its CEO in 2022. The board said it is selecting a search firm and has not formally engaged candidates, calling speculation premature. Some Nvidia employees are pushing for Huang's return, with an internal post drawing over 1,600 comments. Analysts also cite AMD's Lisa Su and Micron's Sanjay Mehrotra as external contenders, while veteran engineer Ian Buck is a leading internal candidate. Nvidia's market value fell about $573 billion this week, with shares down 2% Friday.
