Who will succeed Jensen Huang? The race to find Nvidia's next chief begins
Jensen Huang’s departure ends a 33-year leadership era at Nvidia, triggering a search for his successor. Names including Lisa Su, Rene Haas and Tim Cook have entered the conversation, with Trump’s endorsement of Cook adding an unexpected twist.
Nvidia is currently in the midst of a leadership transition after co-founder Jensen Huang announced his resignation on November 12, concluding a 33-year tenure at the company. The board has decided to consider candidates from both internal and external sources, with interim CEO Colette Kress taking charge while the search for a permanent CEO commences.
The turmoil surrounding Huang's resignation stems from several controversies, including reports of extramarital affairs and allegations of a foreign intelligence operation targeting him. Despite these issues, the company's board has appointed former acting US attorney Joon H. Kim and law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation, with no findings published as of yet.
