US Treasury Secretary Bessent has said Nvidia must "go outside the company" to find a successor to its former chief executive, Jensen Huang. The comments follow Huang's decision to step down after revelations of extramarital affairs, one of which involved a suspected Chinese spy.
The departure is notable given Nvidia's central role in the global artificial intelligence chip market and the personal nature of the reasons behind it. Bessent's remarks put the question of leadership succession at the centre of the discussion around the company's future.S1S2
