Jensen Huang has discussed returning as Nvidia’s chief executive with confidants, the Financial Times reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the FT, one ally described organizing technology executives to lobby for Huang’s return and seek White House support. Nvidia’s and Huang’s spokespeople declined to comment.
Nvidia announced Huang’s resignation Thursday and appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress interim CEO. Its board said it would consider internal and external candidates for a permanent replacement.
The comeback discussions come as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Sunday for Nvidia to choose an outside leader. Appearing on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, he urged a dramatic leadership shakeup and said the board and outside lawyers should answer questions about export-control compliance within 10 days.
Nvidia has not announced Huang’s reinstatement. The company is scheduled to report quarterly earnings Tuesday.
