The Financial Times has reported that Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang. This comes after Huang stepped down on Thursday following revelations of extramarital affairs, which have plunged the chipmaker into crisis. Haas, who has been in the running for the position since Huang's exit, spent seven formative years at Nvidia before joining Arm in 2013.
He is among several candidates being considered for the role, but there is no guarantee that he will be offered or accept the job. Nvidia's finance chief, Colette Kress, is currently serving as interim CEO. Arm declined to comment on the report, while Nvidia has not yet responded to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters was unable to independently verify the report.
Haas became CEO of Arm in 2022, overseeing the company's Nasdaq listing in 2023. Arm designs processor architecture.
