IT Home reported on November 12 that, following Jensen Huang's departure as Nvidia CEO, U.S. President Trump immediately called on Apple executive chairman Tim Cook to take the helm at Nvidia.
This evening (the 12th), Trump posted on Truth Social that there was “only one” person who could succeed Huang: Apple's Tim Cook. “One legend to succeed another legend!”
According to IT Home, Cook became executive chairman after stepping down as Apple CEO.
After Huang resigned as president, CEO and a member of the board, Nvidia appointed executive vice president and chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim CEO.
Until a permanent successor is chosen, Kress will continue to serve as executive vice president and chief financial officer while carrying out the CEO's duties. The board has begun a formal search for a CEO and will consider both internal and external candidates.
