#WhoWillSucceedJensenHuangatNvidia?
Jensen Huang’s abrupt departure after 33 years at the helm caught the market by surprise. With no public succession plan and after leaving behind a flat organizational structure in which 60 executives reported directly to him, Nvidia is now racing against time to decide who will take the chip giant’s helm.
For now, CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO. She has Wall Street’s financial confidence, but analysts question whether a finance-focused profile is enough to lead a company driven by extreme innovation. Behind the scenes and in prediction markets, the internal favorite is Ian Buck, a veteran since 2004, head of the data center division, and creator of the CUDA platform—the company’s true technological moat.
From outside the company, prominent names are gaining traction: Rene Haas, Arm’s CEO and a former Nvidia executive; Johny Srouji, Apple’s head of hardware; and even Lisa Su, Huang’s rival at AMD and distant cousin. The challenge is monumental: maintaining the breakneck pace of artificial intelligence without the founder’s charisma and centralized leadership.
For Nvidia’s future and the AI-linked crypto market, what matters more now: a technical genius like Ian Buck or an iron-fisted manager like Colette Kress—or has the company already reached its all-time peak without Huang?
