Trump backs Tim Cook to lead Nvidia after Huang's exit

forbes.es (Spanish) —

President Trump publicly endorsed former Apple CEO Tim Cook as the successor to Jensen Huang at Nvidia following Huang's resignation, calling it a "legend replacing a legend" on Truth Social. The recommendation is not an official candidacy. Nvidia has not confirmed Cook as a candidate and stated its board will consider internal and external profiles. CFO Colette Kress has been appointed interim CEO while the search for a permanent replacement proceeds. Cook led Apple for 15 years, growing its market value from $350 billion to $4 trillion. He stepped down as CEO in September 2026 to become executive chairman, with John Ternus taking over.
