The Financial Times reported that Nvidia’s board approached Arm CEO Rene Haas about succeeding Jensen Huang. Nvidia’s board later said it had not formally engaged any candidate.
Nvidia’s leadership search has implications for AI and semiconductor markets. Its board is weighing candidates from inside and outside the company.
Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO while directors seek a permanent successor. Kress, 59, will retain the CFO role she has held since 2013.
Haas remains Arm’s CEO. Nvidia has not appointed him; the Financial Times report concerns a possible candidate, not a completed leadership change. EconoTimes previously covered Kress’s interim appointment and the board’s search.
