Jensen Huang weighs return as Nvidia CEO amid support from Silicon Valley allies: Report

详细摘要

Efforts to bring Jensen Huang back to the helm of Nvidia gained momentum over the weekend, with prominent executives publicly supporting his reinstatement.

Jensen Huang is reportedly weighing a return as Nvidia’s chief executive just days after the company’s board of directors removed him from the position, according to the Financial Times.

Huang, who acknowledged an affair with a woman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence and was also linked to an alleged relationship with an Nvidia vice president, has reportedly been discussing the possibility of reclaiming his role.

The discussions come as several of his allies in Silicon Valley have started lobbying for his reinstatement, the report added.

Efforts to bring Huang back to the helm of Nvidia gained momentum over the weekend, with several prominent executives publicly supporting his reinstatement.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney were among those who backed an open letter urging the company’s board to “Bring Jensen Back.”

Altimeter Capital Management and Atreides Management called on Nvidia’s board to carefully consider its next leadership steps in a social media post late last week. They pointed to “the extraordinary success of Jensen Huang’s leadership over a long period of time” and the uncertainty surrounding his exit, arguing that the company should adopt a “slow, measured, and deliberate” approach.

In a letter shared on X, Altimeter’s Brad Gerstner and Atreides’ Gavin Baker told the board that its deliberations should also consider “the potential return of Jensen Huang.”

The campaign to bring the CEO back could encounter resistance from influential policymakers in Washington. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called for a “dramatic shake-up” in Nvidia’s leadership on Sunday following Huang’s departure.
