California, Nov. 14 -- Nvidia's board has approached Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor to Jensen Huang following the latter's resignation as the chipmaker's CEO amid a controversy surrounding his alleged extramarital relationships, the Financial Times reported.

According to the Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter, Haas, who has headed the SoftBank-backed British chipmaker since 2022, is among the names being considered by Nvidia's board as it explores leadership options following Huang's departure.

Haas previously worked at Nvidia for around seven years more than a decade ago and is understood to maintain strong professional relationships with Huang and several members of the company's board.
