Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO after Jensen Huang’s resignation, and Unconventional AI CEO Naveen Rao, who urged the company not to hand Huang’s job to its CFO, says it would be a mistake for the interim pick to become permanent. Rao, who founded AI chip startup Nervana, explains why Nvidia needs a CEO with product and technical vision, how names floated as successors, including CUDA architect Ian Buck and Arm CEO Rene Haas, stack up, why he thinks the search should close within three to four months and what the change could mean for Nvidia’s talent and open-source AI.
