  "account": "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Sunday that NVIDIA must \"go outside the company\" to find a new chief executive following Jensen Huang's resignation due to extramarital affairs. Several outsiders are being considered for the role, including two Israelis, Johny Srouji and Eyal Waldman.\n\nSrouji, Apple's chief hardware officer, brings experience leading Apple's silicon strategy, which enabled iPhone development of proprietary chips. However, criticism centers on his brief tenure as chief hardware officer, promoted in April 2026.\n\nWaldman, co-founder of Mellanox, an Israeli networking company acquired by NVIDIA in 2020 for $7 billion, could offer a CEO perspective. Other potential candidates include Rene Haas, CEO of Arm and former NVIDIA executive; AMD CEO Lisa Su; Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman; NVIDIA's Chief Technology Officer Michael Kagan, who co-founded Mellanox with Waldman; and Tobias Holcman, who contributed to this story.",
  "summary": "Candidates reportedly include Apple’s Johny Srouji, AMD’s Lisa Su, and Arm’s Rene Haas, while Trump has called for former Apple CEO Tim Cook to take the job.",
