Nvidia approached Arm CEO Rene Haas to succeed Jensen Huang, report says
Haas spent seven formative years at Nvidia, rising to vice-president and general manager of its computing products business.
Nvidia’s board has reportedly approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang, the company’s founder and former CEO, according to a report in The Financial Times. Huang stepped down on November 12 following a controversy involving extramarital affairs, which has shaken the AI industry he played a significant role in developing.
Haas, who spent seven formative years at Nvidia before joining Arm in 2013, has been among several candidates being considered for the position. However, there is no guarantee that he will be offered or accept the job. Currently, Nvidia’s finance chief Colette Kress serves as interim CEO. Arm declined to comment on the report, while Nvidia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
It remains unclear whether Haas will take over the reins of Nvidia, as the next CEO is expected to break from Huang’s hands-on leadership style and navigate increased regulatory scrutiny and US lawmakers' push for further restrictions on chip exports to China.
