US President Donald Trump proposed on Thursday that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should succeed Jensen Huang as the head of Nvidia, following Huang's resignation, according to Anadolu Ajansi. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump commended Huang's leadership before endorsing Cook. The former Apple CEO was touted as the ideal replacement for the veteran chipmaker leader.
Nvidia confirmed Huang's resignation the same day, effective immediately, amid an independent probe into allegations that he had been targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. CFO Colette Kress was named interim CEO, with the company stating it would consider both internal and external candidates for the permanent role. Huang's 33-year tenure at Nvidia concluded with his departure, marking a significant leadership shift at the semiconductor giant.
