Nvidia employees demand Jensen Huang’s return as CEO in internal forum - report
Nvidia employees called on the board of directors to reconsider its position, urging the immediate reinstatement of the CEO under the slogan "Bring Back the Boss."
An internal dispute has erupted at chip manufacturer Nvidia following the resignation of its CEO, Jensen Huang, according to leaked communications from the company's internal messaging platform. Employees have demanded the board reconsider its decision, with many urging an immediate return of the CEO under the rallying cry "Bring Back the Boss."
The CEO's departure followed a week of disclosures that Huang had been unfaithful to his wife and was under investigation for alleged relationships, including one with a suspected Chinese intelligence agent and another with an employee. This scandal coincided with a $1 trillion drop in Nvidia's market value and sparked investigations by U.S. lawmakers and the FBI.
Despite legal and public scrutiny, support for Huang remains strong within the company. One anonymous employee expressed solidarity, stating, "If you believe in the mission, bring back the boss." Another employee requested transparency regarding Huang's departure, saying, "I stand with Jensen, not because I believe anyone is immune to mistakes, but because I refuse to believe that standing for fairness means standing at a distance from someone whose leadership has been so meaningful to us."
The board, consisting of early investors and long-time associates, named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and former Synopsys CEO Harvey Jones as board chairman. As of now, Nvidia and the board have not commented on the matter, while employees have expressed their support on social media and warned of potential disruption in Huang's absence.
