Nvidia board urged to consider 'potential return of Jensen Huang' by two major investors
CNBC reports that Nvidia founder Jensen Huang resigned as CEO and director on 12 November 2026 amid an independent board investigation and affair allegations involving Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy linked to Nvidia customer Megaspeed, which is under Justice Department investigation for possibly redirecting restricted AI chips to China. Investors Brad Gerstner of Altimeter Capital and Gavin Baker of Atreides Management urged the board to weigh all leadership options, including Huang's potential return, while Colette Kress serves as interim CEO, Elon Musk says he signed a petition to reinstate Huang, and both Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have been asked to testify.
