Who could replace Jensen Huang? A highly unscientific list of possible successors
The article speculates about who might lead Nvidia if Jensen Huang were forced out, amid claims about an affair and uncertainty over whom he meant. Huang’s departure would be significant because Nvidia has no apparent succession plan, although the board might retain him as chairman.
The article says Kalshi traders put Huang’s chance of staying through the week at 30%. It considers AMD chief Lisa Su, former Google chief Eric Schmidt, Intel chief Lip-Bu Tan, Sierra chief Bret Taylor and Nvidia executive Ian Buck, weighing their experience and reasons they might or might not take the job. It also mentions the possibility of choosing another senior Nvidia executive.
In short
- Huang’s future at Nvidia is uncertain.
- The article names five possible successors.
- Nvidia appears to lack a succession plan.
