Who are the three Israelis among those being considered to succeed Jensen Huang as NVIDIA CEO?
Three Israeli tech leaders are reportedly in the running to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO, alongside executives from Apple, AMD, and other firms.
Three Israelis are being considered to potentially succeed Jensen Huang as NVIDIA's CEO following his resignation. Among them is Michael Kagan, NVIDIA's chief technology officer, who has been with the company since 2016 and helped develop its technology. Another candidate is Eyal Waldman, the founder and former CEO of Mellanox, an Israeli networking company that NVIDIA acquired in 2020.
Mellanox's experience could give Waldman an advantage over his former partner. Johny Srouji, Apple's chief hardware officer, is also being considered. He brings expertise in developing Apple's silicon strategy, which has allowed the company to develop its own chips for its products. However, his recent promotion to Apple's chief hardware officer could be seen as a potential drawback. Additionally, Apple's CEO Tim Cook has been suggested as a potential candidate.
