Patrick McGee on Johny Srouji and Nvidia
Patrick McGee (author of Apple in China ; my guest on The Talk Show last May), writing on X in response to Semafor’s reporting that Nvidia is “considering” Johny Srouji: Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji would be an incredible choice to lead @nvidia — and I believe he’d accept it. He’s hit the ceiling at Apple and won’t ever be CEO; obviously competent; ambitious as hell; has long wanted chip…
Patrick McGee, author of Apple in China, commented on X about Johny Srouji potentially leading Nvidia. McGee believes Srouji would be a fantastic choice to head Nvidia, as he is highly competent and ambitious. He argues that Srouji, who is currently Apple's hardware chief, would not be interested in the Nvidia role. McGee notes that Apple's leadership, such as Eddy Cue, Craig Federighi, and Greg Joswiak, would not leave the company to assume a CEO position elsewhere.
He also mentions that Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has never accepted a CEO offer to leave the company. McGee believes that Srouji is loyal to Apple and its chip architecture, and may be trusted by John Ternus, Apple's hardware engineering chief. He concludes that Srouji's decision not to join Nvidia is likely due to his loyalty to Apple and its chip architecture, rather than a lack of interest in the role.
