WIRED: Some Nvidia employees call for Jensen Huang's return in internal comments

Jensen Huang abruptly resigned as Nvidia CEO after multiple reports of extramarital affairs, and some employees are calling on the board to bring him back. Internal communications reviewed by WIRED show that a senior engineer, in an internal suggestion box post submitted before his resignation, urged the board to consider employee sentiment before taking action; the post has attracted more than 1,600 comments, many of them asking for a way to bring Jensen Huang back. Jensen Huang had led Nvidia since founding it in 1993; in an email to employees on Sunday he admitted to being unfaithful to his wife; the board announced his resignation on Thursday morning, after reports that he had an affair with a person suspected of being a Chinese intelligence officer and was alleged to have had a second extramarital affair with a direct subordinate, and Reuters subsequently reported similar allegations involving another employee. The board has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and former Synopsys CEO Harvey Jones as chairman. The crisis has wiped $1 trillion off the company's market value, triggered investigations by U.S. lawmakers and the FBI, and increased the likelihood of new chip export controls.
