Who can replace Huang if Nvidia ousts him?
The board of Nvidia is reportedly meeting to discuss the future of CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his extramarital affairs and ties to a Chinese spy, according to US media. Huang, who has led the AI giant since its founding in 1993, faces multiple allegations of infidelity, including with a data center executive accused of working for China's Ministry of State Security. With no clear plan for succession, the board has a wide range of potential replacements to choose from.
Internal hires are being considered, with Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress, Chief Data Center Officer Ian Buck, and Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research Bryan Catanzano all being named as possible successors. Huang's own family members are also being suggested, with his daughter Madison, son Spencer, and cousin Lisa Su all being mentioned as potential candidates.
Outside of the company, tech CEOs such as former Apple CEO Tim Cook and current CEO of Arm, Rene Haas, are also being speculated as potential replacements for Huang.
