Reuters reported that analysts and investors view Ian Buck, Nvidia’s vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing, as a possible candidate for the top job.
“The permanent job is a different story, though, because Nvidia’s edge comes from its technology, and the board would likely want an engineer in the chair, Josh Gilbert, a lead analyst at eToro, told Reuters. “Someone like Ian Buck, who led the software platform that keeps developers tied to Nvidia’s chips, is the sort of internal name you’d expect to come up.”
Prediction market users are also banking on Buck. He’s at the top of the list on both Kalshi and Polymarket.
