Jensen Huang discusses Nvidia return with allies: report

Ousted Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang is discussing a possible comeback to the company just days after being pushed out by the board of directors, according to the Financial Times. Techmeme reports that Huang has discussed a return with confidants as allies form a “war room” to lobby for his reinstatement and seek support from the White House.

Huang resigned on a Thursday following an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, according to Hellenic Shipping News. He has agreed to testify before Congress before Nov. 26. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Sunday that Nvidia needs to look outside the company for a new chief executive.

The Jerusalem Post Tech & Start-Ups reports that the board is considering several outside candidates, including Apple's chief hardware officer Johny Srouji, former Mellanox CEO Eyal Waldman, Arm CEO Rene Haas, AMD CEO Lisa Su, and Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman. Additionally, President Donald Trump has suggested that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should take the position.
