Nvidia explores Arm chief Rene Haas as possible new CEO after Jensen Huang’s resignation

Nvidia’s board told the press that it has informally contacted Arm Holdings chief executive Rene Haas about the vacant chief‑executive position. The company is still choosing an executive‑search firm and has not made any formal offers. Interim chief executive is finance chief Colette Kress, while two large shareholders have asked the board to keep the process slow and leave open the chance of Huang’s return.

The chipmaker’s leadership change could affect its AI‑chip roadmap and market confidence, as noted by the Financial Times report. Investors should watch for any update on the CEO search that may move the stock.
