The leadership of Nvidia explained the situation with potential successors of the scandalous head

The American corporation Nvidia, specializing in the development of GPUs, officially announced that it is not in any talks with potential candidates for its retired head Jensen Huang.

The company was at the center of a scandal this week in connection with the unexpected resignation of its president and CEO.

Earlier on Friday, the Financial Times published data according to which the board of directors of Nvidia allegedly contacted the head of the British company Arm Rene Haas. According to anonymous sources, the purpose of this appeal was to find a successor for Jensen Huang in the leadership position, with Haas being considered one of several possible candidates.

In an official statement broadcast to CNBC, Nvidia’s board of directors clarified that the organization is still in the stage of selecting a recruitment agency to search for a new CEO. Representatives of the company stressed that there were no official appeals to any potential applicants, and any speculation about specific candidates, whether inside the corporation or outside it, is considered premature.

On Thursday, Nvidia officially announced Jensen Huang’s resignation as president and CEO. This decision was made against the background of a scandal related to his close ties with a certain Alice Huang, who was suspected of working for the Chinese authorities. In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China categorically denied such allegations about “Chinese espionage” in the context of the situation around Nvidia, calling them absolutely groundless.
