Jensen Huang has discussed a possible return as Nvidia’s chief executive with confidants, BeInCrypto reported on 15 November. He resigned on 12 November, and chief financial officer Colette Kress is running the company on an interim basis.
One ally is organising a “war room” of tech executives to lobby Nvidia’s board and the White House for Huang’s return, BeInCrypto reported, citing the Financial Times. Elon Musk and Epic Games chief executive Tim Sweeney backed a public letter urging the board to “Bring Jensen Back”.
The push comes as Nvidia’s board searches for a permanent chief executive. It has approached Arm chief executive Rene Haas as a possible successor, while Nvidia said no “formal” process had started.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called for a “dramatic shake-up” in Nvidia’s leadership on 15 November, BeInCrypto reported. Nvidia shares closed at $166.19 on 12 November, the day Huang resigned. Nvidia reports quarterly results on 17 November, its first report under Kress’s interim leadership.
