NVIDIA Reportedly Eyes ARM CEO As Potential Successor To Jensen Huang

NVIDIA is reportedly considering Rene Haas, the current CEO of ARM, as a potential successor to former CEO and President Jensen Huang. This comes as a backlash from some NVIDIA employees who are urging the company to reconsider Huang's resignation and bring him back. One anonymous commenter noted, "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE Boss."

The post, which garnered over 1,600 comments, suggested that the board of directors might find a way to bring Huang back, either in his original role or another capacity. While this is a small portion of the workforce, it represents a significant number of employees. There have been calls for fairness within the company, with one staffer stating, "I stand by Jensen... because I refuse to believe that standing for fairness must mean standing at a distance from someone whose leadership has meant so much to us."

Haas has been on the radar since Huang's departure, but nothing has been finalized. Haas spent years at NVIDIA before joining ARM in 2013, and while there are no guarantees he would accept the offer, his familiarity with the company could make the transition smoother. The board emphasized that any speculation about specific candidates is premature.
