Jensen Huang has been discussing a possible comeback as Nvidia\u2019s chief executive, days after the board pushed him out, the\u00a0Financial Times reported<\/a>. Bloomberg\u00a0relayed the report<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n Huang\u00a0resigned on Thursday. He had admitted an affair with Alice Huang, whom US officials suspect of spying for China, and was reported to have had another with an Nvidia vice president. The two Huangs are not related, and Beijing denies the spying claims.<\/p>\n Several Silicon Valley allies have begun lobbying for his return, the FT said. Two of them are Nvidia investors. In a letter to the board posted on X, Altimeter\u2019s Brad Gerstner and Atreides\u2019 Gavin Baker urged a slow and deliberate app<\/a>roach to choosing a successor.<\/p>\n That approach should include \u201cthe potential return of Jensen Huang,<\/em>\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n Washington is pulling the other way. On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News<\/a> that Nvidia needs a dramatic shakeup in its leadership. He said it should look outside the company for its next chief.<\/p>\n Bessent has made the scandal about chips, not private life. On Friday he said\u00a0anyone at Nvidia\u00a0should be held accountable if its chips leaked to China.<\/p>\n A return would also have to survive the board\u2019s own inquiry, which is\u00a0run by Wachtell Lipton. Huang is expected to testify before Congress, and Nvidia reports results on Tuesday under interim chief executive Colette Kress.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
