Just a few days after he resigned his sensational resignation after reporting to a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy and her subordinate, Jensen Huang is considering the possibility of a return to the post of Executive Director of Nvivia, while his allies at Silicon Valley are putting great pressure on the company board.
According to sources close to developments, Huang has discussed the scenario of returning to the top of the giant chip manufacturer worth $4 trillion worth of dollars with his most trusted associates. These movements are taking place at a time when the Navia board is conducting an independent investigation into its behaviour, which caused an unprecedented leadership crisis this week.
We’re fighting in Silicon Valley and looking for support at the White House.
An ally of Huang has told the Financial Times that senior leaders in Silicon Valley are forming a so-called war campaign to lobby strongly for the return of the former head of Nvivia, even seeking the support of the White House.
Everyone who plays an important role in the technology industry except maybe recent technology labs have high regard for Jensen, this source has expressed itself, confirming that this lobby campaign has Huang’s own approval.
His support is not missing even within the company, where some of the faithful workers have gone out publicly after his resignation and signed an open letter demanding his immediate return.
Washington hurdles, names for successor
However, this return could be met in strong political resistance in Washington:
Treasure Opposition: Treasury Secretary Scott Besant called on Sunday for radical changes in the company’s leadership after Huang left.
Board movements: The Financial Times reported on Friday that the Nvivia board was addressed to Arm CEO Rene Haa, as a potential descendant of Huang, though the Naviia company itself stated that no formal process has yet been launched for his replacement.
