Nvidia's board has approached Arm CEO Rene Haas as part of its search for a potential successor to Jensen Huang, the Financial Times reported on November 13, 2026. Reuters, which carried the report, said it could not immediately verify it.
The report describes an approach to a sitting CEO of another listed chip company. It does not state that an offer was made, that Haas accepted or declined, or that Huang is leaving the CEO role. Nvidia and Arm did not comment in the report as carried by Reuters.
Haas leads Arm, whose chip designs are licensed across the semiconductor industry. Huang co-founded Nvidia and remains its CEO, according to the report's framing of the search.
