Ousted Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang is discussing a possible comeback to the company just days after the board of directors pushed him out, the Financial Times reported.
Huang, who admitted having an affair with a suspected Chinese spy and was reported to have another with an Nvidia vice president, has been discussing the idea of returning as several Silicon Valley allies have begun lobbying for him to come back, the newspaper reported.
In a social post late last week, Altimeter Capital Management and Atreides Management cited “the extraordinary success of Jensen Huang’s leadership over a long period of time” and the uncertainty created by his departure in urging the board to take a “slow, measured, and deliberate” approach to Nvidia’s future leadership.
That should include “the potential return of Jensen Huang,” Altimeter’s Brad Gerstner and Atreides’ Gavin Baker wrote in a letter to Nvidia’s board posted on X.
On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures that Nvidia needs a “dramatic shakeup” in leadership and should go outside the company to find new leadership after a series of accusations that the company facilitated sales of its advanced artificial intelligence chips to Chinese entities.
