If Nvidia's CEO, Huang, is indeed removed by the board, who will succeed him? Currently, four candidates are generating considerable buzz: 1. Colette Kress: The Most Practical Interim Successor Nvidia CFO, joined the company in 2013. She has long been responsible for Nvidia's finances, having previously held senior finance positions at Microsoft and Cisco. She is one of the most familiar faces in management to investors. Her strengths lie in stable finances, capital market communication, and daily company management, making her suitable for a transition period. However, she has significant weaknesses in long-term leadership of a technology company. 2. Ian Buck: A Worthy Internal Technical Candidate Head of Nvidia's Hyperscale and HPC Business He joined Nvidia in 2004, contributing to the development of the CUDA ecosystem. He currently oversees hyperscale cloud computing and high-performance computing products. He understands Nvidia's core technologies and has worked with major clients such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, making him a worthwhile internal technical candidate to study. 3. Debora Shoquist: Operations and Supply Chain Expert Executive Vice President of Operations, Nvidia Joined the company in 2007, responsible for manufacturing, supply chain, production management, and operations. She has extensive experience operating large technology companies, and if the board prioritizes organizational stability and supply chain continuity, she is a worthwhile candidate. 4. External Appointments: Rene Haas, Lisa Su Rene Haas: Current CEO of Arm, previously worked at Nvidia, possessing semiconductor industry management experience. Lisa Su: CEO of AMD, a top-tier manager in the chip industry, but AMD is Nvidia's most direct competitor, making cross-company succession a significant challenge. Eric Schmidt's name has also been mentioned by Axios, but this is currently just market speculation and not an official succession plan from Nvidia. As for Madison Huang (Jensen Huang's daughter)? She is currently the Senior Director of Marketing for Physical AI Products at Nvidia, indeed working within the company, but still far from the top management level.
