Investors urge Nvidia board to consider reinstating Jensen Huang as CEO
Two major Nvidia shareholders are urging the board to consider reinstating Jensen Huang as CEO after his departure over an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, citing unresolved questions about the allegations. Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner and Atreides Management founder Gavin Barker published a letter Friday calling for a "slow, measured, and deliberate process" in selecting leadership, including Huang's possible return. They expressed confidence in interim CEO Colette Kress but argued the board should not rush a replacement. The affair has sparked a political battle within the Trump administration over intelligence claims and Nvidia's China business. Huang has apologized, agreed to brief Congress, and faces a Senate hearing, while officials dispute the strength of evidence against his former partner.
