Nvidia CEO Race: Tim Cook and Three Indian-Origin Leaders in Contention
Nvidia is searching for a new CEO following Jensen Huang's resignation amid controversy over multiple extramarital affairs, with former Apple CEO Tim Cook and three Indian-origin leaders emerging as top contenders. Colette Kress, Nvidia's CFO, has been appointed interim CEO while the board considers internal and external candidates. Reports suggest President Donald Trump is backing Tim Cook, who led Apple's market value from $350 billion to $4.5 trillion over 15 years. Indian-origin candidates include Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, and Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian. Other names in consideration include AMD CEO Lisa Su, former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, and Arm CEO Rene Haas.
