‘Bring Back THE Boss’: Nvidia Employees Petition for Jensen Huang’s Return
An internal post urging the board to consider employee sentiment about Nvidia’s former CEO has drawn more than 1,600 comments, the majority in full support of reinstalling him.
An internal "suggestion box" post submitted before Jensen Huang's resignation urged Nvidia's board to consider employee sentiment before taking any action. The post, which has garnered over 1,600 comments, urged board members to bring Huang back, citing the positive impact he had on the company. One anonymous commenter wrote, "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss."
Another employee even sent a companywide email demanding transparency into Huang’s exit. Despite the widespread support, the board named Nvidia CFO Colette Kress interim CEO and former Synopsys CEO Harvey Jones as interim chair of the board. Since Huang's resignation, the company has lost $1 trillion in market value, prompting investigations from US lawmakers and the FBI, and raising the prospect of new export controls on chips.
Many Nvidia employees have expressed their support for Huang on social media, but the company has not commented on the matter.
