US treasury chief wants outsider as Nvidia’s next CEO

VIA MARIO NAWFAL ON X:

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Nvidia needs a complete leadership shake-up following Jensen Huang’s resignation, insisting the chipmaker must hire its next chief executive from outside the company.

“They need a dramatic shakeup,” Bessent said.

He also demanded that Nvidia’s board and outside lawyers answer questions within 10 days about the company’s compliance with US chip-export restrictions. Huang resigned on Thursday amid reports of an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
