NVIDIA Watch posted an update
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged Nvidia’s board to choose its next chief executive from outside the company, The Straits Times reports. He also said the board and outside counsel should answer questions about Nvidia’s export-control compliance within 10 days.
Why it mattersThe paper says Nvidia has approached Arm chief executive Rene Haas as a possible successor, citing the Financial Times. That is a reported approach, not confirmation that Haas has been offered or accepted the job. The leadership choice now carries a question beyond who gets the corner office: should Nvidia seek a fresh start from outside, or favour someone who already knows the company?
Discuss: Should Nvidia choose an outsider for a clean break, or an insider who already understands its business?
