Nvidia’s board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas in its search for a potential
successor to Jensen Huang, the Financial Times reported today, citing people familiar with the matter.
Huang stepped down yesterday after revelations ofextramarital affairs, including one involving a suspected Chinese spy, plunging the chipmaker into crisis and sendingshockwaves across an AI industry he helped bankroll.
Haas is among several candidates being considered to succeed Huang and there is no guarantee he will be offered the job or accept it, FT reported.
The British chipmaker declined to comment, while Nvidia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
Arm’s US-listed shares pared losses after the report and were down more than 5%. Nvidia’s shares were down over 3%.
