Rene Haas, the head of the British semiconductor company Arm, has been named among the potential candidates for the position of CEO at Nvidia following Jensen Huang’s resignation, according to sources cited by the Financial Times. According to the sources, Nvidia’s board of directors has already reached out to the Arm CEO. However, he is just one of several candidates, and there is no guarantee that he will be offered the position or that he will accept it, the sources told the publication.
Haas has led the British chipmaker since 2022, and about ten years ago he worked at Nvidia, where he spent about seven years. He continues to maintain close ties with both Huang and some members of the company’s board of directors, the FT notes.
Arm declined to comment to the newspaper, and Nvidia did not respond promptly to the request.
Nvidia's Chief Financial Officer, Colette Kress, is temporarily serving as CEO.
