Several employees of Nvidia, the American chipmaker, want Jensen Huang back, despite revelations about his alleged extramarital relationships. Huang had led the company since its founding in 1993. According to WIRED, a proposal posted in the company’s internal suggestion box has drawn more than 1,600 comments. Its author, a long-serving engineer, asks the board of directors to consult staff before deciding the future of the executive.
Several comments call for Jensen Huang to resume his duties. One employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, writes: “If you believe in this mission, bring back THE boss”. Another feels he deserves a second chance. An employee also sent all staff an email asking for an explanation of his departure; WIRED could not reach him, and the engineer behind the proposal declined all requests for comment.
Nvidia and its new chair of the board, investor Harvey Jones, did not immediately respond to WIRED’s approaches.
This mobilisation follows the departure of Jensen Huang, announced on Thursday 12 November after the alleged espionage scandal. It comes as Nvidia is approaching Rene Haas to replace Jensen Huang.
