Turmoil at Chip Giant
Report: Huang Seeks Return to Nvidia
According to the Financial Times, people close to Jensen Huang are pressing Nvidia's board to reinstate him and are seeking support from the White House.
The newspaper reported that people close to Huang are working to persuade the chipmaker's board of directors to allow him back. They are also trying to build support for the move at the White House.
Huang resigned following reports that he had been involved in relationships that breached workplace ethics rules. These included a relationship with a businesswoman suspected of having ties to Chinese interests, according to the reports.
The affair has caused turmoil at the chip giant. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO in the meantime.
According to the reports, senior figures in the technology industry have also voiced support for Huang's reinstatement, and efforts to bring him back are continuing.
