Nvidia board weighs successors after Jensen Huang's exit

cbsnews.com —

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday, prompting a search for a successor to lead the $4 trillion chipmaker, with CFO Colette Kress named interim CEO. The board will consider internal and external candidates, though analysts say finding a leader with Huang's engineering and management scope will be difficult. Huang stepped down following reports of his relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. Potential successors include Apple's Tim Cook, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, Nvidia executive Ian Buck, Apple's Johny Srouji, and Arm CEO Rene Haas. Prediction markets favor Buck or Cook.
