Apple’s Srouji emerges as potential successor to Nvidia’s Huang
Bloomberg reported that Nvidia had enlisted an external search firm, while Srouji’s interest in a move remains unknown.
Johny Srouji, Apple’s chief hardware officer, is among the candidates being weighed to succeed Jensen Huang at Nvidia, Semafor reported. Citing someone familiar with the situation, Semafor said the board was preparing to oust Huang, who co-founded the chipmaker.
There is no clarity on whether Srouji has been contacted or wants to leave Apple. Separately, Bloomberg reported that Nvidia had brought in an external firm to seek successors. Some board members reportedly back finance chief Colette Kress for an interim appointment should Huang be removed.
Srouji gained broader authority at Apple in April, when the company also named John Ternus as Tim Cook’s successor as CEO. His promotion put him in charge of hardware engineering, formerly overseen by Ternus, in addition to his existing responsibilities for custom chips and other hardware technologies.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported in December 2025 that Srouji had discussed with Cook the possibility of taking a job elsewhere. Srouji later reassured employees that a departure was not imminent. He arrived at Apple in 2008 to head A4 chip development and subsequently helped steer the Mac toward Apple silicon.
