Tim Cook and Johny Srouji Floated for Jensen Huang Replacements

While the tech world is still reeling from Jensen Huang’s resignation as Nvidia CEO, at least two Apple legends are already being talked about as potential replacements.

Nvidia has named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while the company looks for a permanent replacement following Huang’s resignation. Huang’s resignation follows reports of multiple extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman reportedly suspected of spying for China. Needless to say, filling Huang’s shoes will be no easy task, given that the executive had been President and CEO of the company for 33 years and helped it become one of the most important companies in the world.

According to MacRumors, citing Bloomberg, Nvidia has hired an outside firm to identify potential replacements. MacRumors also cites Semafor as reporting that one of the people under consideration is Apple’s Johny Srouji, who serves as the company’s chief hardware officer.

Srouji helped lead Apple’s transition from Intel processors to its own Arm-based M-series chips. The transition was one of the most seamless, well-executed architectural transitions in the tech industry. Srouji’s understanding of chip design and hardware engineering makes him an obvious candidate for the job.

Meanwhile, President Trump has floated his own idea of who should take the top job, saying he believes it should be former Apple CEO Tim Cook. In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said he believes Cook is the only man for the job.

NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place – TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend! President DONALD J. TRUMP

It remains to be seen who Nvidia will choose, but it’s a testament to Apple’s reputation that several of its executives are being mentioned as possibilities.
