More than 132,000 people have signed the Stand with Jensen petition. The campaign is calling on NVIDIA’s board to bring back former CEO Jensen Huang. The online petition has gained traction soon after Huang stepped down from the company.
The campaign is asking NVIDIA’s board to reinstate Huang, allow him a fair hearing, and explain its decision to the public. Supporters say the petition continues to attract signatures from employees, shareholders, and members of the tech community.
At the time of writing, over 6,620 current NVIDIA employees, 1,200 former employees, and 71,700 shareholders have signed the petition. Those numbers have not been verified, but they show the level of support Huang still has among people connected to the company.
NVIDIA named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO following Huang’s resignation. The petition comes as questions continue to surround Huang’s exit.
Support for Huang has also spread beyond NVIDIA. Over 52,500 supporters have signed the campaign, some with claims backing from several well-known names in the tech industry.
