Nvidia has reportedly approached Arm chief executive Rene Haas about replacing Jensen Huang, adding a named contender to the company’s unsettled succession story.

The Telegraph says Haas, a former Nvidia executive, is among those being considered. Nvidia’s board has said it has not formally engaged candidates and is still selecting a search firm, so this is reported outreach, not an appointment or confirmed shortlist. Haas runs Arm, whose chip designs underpin much of the mobile market and are increasingly aimed at data centres. Putting him in charge of Nvidia would be quite a change of scenery, and a remarkable turn in the companies’ relationship.

Discuss: Should Nvidia look for continuity from a former insider like Haas, or would an outsider be better placed to lead its next chapter?
