Nvidia Employees Call for Jensen Huang's Return as CEO

Some Nvidia employees have advocated for the return of co-founder Jensen Huang to the position of CEO following his resignation on November 11, 2026. According to WIRED, citing internal communications, a post in the corporate suggestion system garnered over 1,600 comments, most of which expressed support for the former leader. Some employees also approached the board of directors with a request to reconsider the personnel decision.

Nvidia Employees Urge Reconsideration of Huang's Resignation

Even before Huang's departure, one of Nvidia's engineers suggested that management consider the collective opinion when making decisions about the future CEO. Subsequently, the discussion received widespread attention among company employees.

In the comments, employees noted Huang's contribution to Nvidia's development and urged for him to be given the opportunity to return to leadership. However, the more than 1,600 messages do not mean that a similar number of employees officially signed a petition for his reinstatement.

One employee also sent a corporate letter demanding clarification of the reasons for the resignation. In their opinion, the board of directors should ensure transparency in the decision-making process. As WIRED notes, some employees hoped that the internal investigation would conclude before the leadership change, but Huang left the position at the initial stage of the review.

Support for Huang Extends Beyond the Company

Following the announcement of the resignation, about two dozen Nvidia employees posted messages on LinkedIn in support of the former CEO. Some expressed concern about how the leadership change might affect the future development of the business.

According to WIRED, journalists were unable to find public posts from Nvidia employees supporting the resignation decision. However, this does not allow for conclusions about the position of the entire company workforce.

Jensen Huang led Nvidia since its founding in 1993. Over 33 years, the company has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of computing accelerators and AI infrastructure.

Who Took Over Nvidia After Jensen Huang's Departure

On November 12, Nvidia officially announced the leadership change. Colette Kress, the CFO who has been with the company since 2013, was appointed interim CEO. She will continue to hold both positions until a permanent leader is selected.

Harvey Jones, who previously held executive positions at Synopsys, became the chairman of the board. Nvidia's board of directors has begun the search for a new CEO and intends to consider both internal and external candidates.

In an official statement, the company emphasized that the leadership change should not disrupt commitments to clients and the implementation of the technological strategy. However, there has been no announcement about the possible return of Huang to the position of Nvidia's CEO.
