Arm Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas has a formidable to-do list to go with his new job.

Haas, 59, was promoted to the top post at the UK’s biggest tech company early Tuesday after its owner, Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp., announced that its proposed sale to Nvidia Corp. has been abandoned. His predecessor, Simon Segars, is resigning for personal reasons.
