Why we are here
For many of us his work was the first GPU, the first model that ran, the keynote that changed a career. That gratitude is real, and it can sit alongside a fair investigation.

NVIDIA Q3 FY2027 earnings call · audio webcast, listen-only
Ifeng Tech published: 2026-11-13 13:10 Beijing time (UTC+8) · total voter count not disclosed
Ifeng Tech reports, citing an employee, that more than 97% of participants in an employee-organized internal poll wanted Huang to stay. The report gives no total number of voters or full polling method. This does not establish a percentage of all NVIDIA employees and is not a company-announced voting result.
WIRED page timestamp: 2026-11-12 20:17 (time zone not shown)
WIRED’s public summary reports more than 1,600 comments on an internal appeal asking the Board to consider employee sentiment, with most supporting Huang’s return. Comments are not a count of unique employees or a poll denominator. We checked the public summary; it does not state a 97% polling result.
Page date: 2026-11-12 (no time or time zone shown)
NVIDIA’s Board announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately. Colette Kress, EVP and CFO, becomes Interim CEO and continues as CFO until a permanent successor is named. Harvey C. Jones was appointed the company’s first-ever Chair of the Board. The Board is starting a search for a permanent CEO and will consider internal and external candidates. Third-quarter results will still be reported on November 17 as scheduled. The release does not mention the status or findings of the independent investigation, or any continuing role for Huang. The SEC Form 8-K dates the Board’s acceptance of the resignation to November 11; the public press release is dated November 12. These are the event date and announcement date, respectively.
Circulating claim with no source · spread before the official announcement of 2026-11-12
The rumor said “the board approved Huang’s resignation and Jay Puri will succeed him.” NVIDIA’s November 12 announcement confirmed the resignation, but not the succession: it names Colette Kress as Interim CEO, and Jay Puri does not appear anywhere in it. The succession part of the rumor is contradicted by the official announcement.
Published: 2026-11-12 05:13 EST (CNBC) · 08:03 GMT (The Next Web)
These reports predate the official announcement. CNBC said at the time that NVIDIA had made no public statement about Huang’s future; The Next Web said no decision had been announced by the end of Wednesday night. Names floated as a possible interim CEO were analysts’ speculation at that point. See the entry above for the announcement that followed.
Event: evening of Wed 2026-11-11, US time; exact time not reported · Published: 17:06 EST (CNBC), 20:11 EST (CNN)
CNBC said it had confirmed the Board was meeting to decide whether to replace the CEO; CNN cited two people familiar with the matter. Both credit The Wall Street Journal with reporting it first. A report that a meeting took place is not a decision. NVIDIA did not respond to requests for comment.
Investing.com report: 2026-11-11; survey conducted November 9–10
Investing.com reports that a November 9–10 Blind survey of 232 NVIDIA employees found 88% favored Huang remaining CEO. It predates the resignation announcement and is separate from the internal poll later reported by Ifeng. We checked the media report, not the original questionnaire or sampling method; the result cannot be generalized to all employees.
Page date: 2026-11-10 (no time or time zone shown)
The independent members of the NVIDIA Board said they have retained Joon H. Kim, former acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and his firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct the independent investigation announced on Sunday.
Published: 2026-11-08 15:12 EST / 16:50 EST (CNBC)
This reflects November 8 and has been superseded by the November 12 announcement. According to CNBC, NVIDIA told it that day that Huang is committed to continuing to lead the company without interruption. CNBC also covered the background to the investigation; the underlying allegations come from reporting by The New York Times and the Financial Times and have not been established.
Page date: Sun 2026-11-08 (no time or time zone shown)
The Board said it is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort, overseen by a committee of independent directors with outside independent counsel. The statement says the Board has no reason to believe national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, that Huang supports and will cooperate with the review, and that the Board has confidence in him and his leadership team.
Page date: 2026-11-08 (the page says the email was sent “earlier today”; no time zone shown)
NVIDIA published the email Huang sent to employees. In it he apologizes to his family and colleagues for his personal conduct, takes full responsibility, says he supports and will fully cooperate with the Board's investigation, and asks for privacy for his family. This site respects that request and does not go into private details.
Per CNBC: first reported by The New York Times on Fri 2026-11-06 · CNBC published: 2026-11-08 13:06 EST
CNBC said The New York Times first reported on Friday on a government memo involving Huang. This entry relies on CNBC's account; the allegations are reported claims and have not been established by any investigation.

According to CNBC, three House committee chairs had asked Huang for a closed-door briefing on this date. The request predates his resignation; whether it will still happen and who would attend are unconfirmed.

04 · Open letter to NVIDIA
The organizers’ open letter v1.0 was sent to NVIDIA Investor Relations on November 13, 2026. The full text as sent is below.
A single organizer submission. No supporter’s name, message, email or avatar was included. Formal signing is not open.
Delivery status: Organizer letter sent · Awaiting acknowledgment
Nov 13, 2026, 12:48:23 Beijing time (UTC+8): organizer letter v1.0 was emailed to NVIDIA’s public Investor Relations address, ir@nvidia.com, with a request to forward it to the Corporate Secretary or the appropriate team for the Board. Subject: “Save Jensen open letter — request for Board consideration of Jensen Huang’s possible return”. No acknowledgment or reply so far. “Sent” does not mean the Board has received it, read it, or been forwarded it.
Supporters’ signing is a separate process and is not open: no signatures have been collected, verified or sent. Nothing from visitors (messages, avatars, emails, signatures) was part of this submission.
Formal signing is not open yet. The support records and messages on this page are not petition signatures and are not delivered to NVIDIA automatically; the organizer letter of November 13 did not include them.
Once open, you will read a fixed version of the letter, enter a display name, and tick two separate boxes, both off by default: “deliver my name and message to NVIDIA” and “show publicly”. Email is used only for verification and is never published. You can withdraw before the deadline.
Done: on November 13, 2026 the organizers emailed open letter v1.0 to NVIDIA’s public Investor Relations address, asked for it to be forwarded to the Corporate Secretary or the appropriate team for the Board, and asked to be told if another channel is the right one.
NVIDIA’s published contacts each have their own scope and none is a channel for supporters’ petitions. We do not claim the letter has been accepted. If formal signing opens later, authorized names and stories will be verified and delivered once by the organizers. No “email blast” button for visitors.
Organizer contact: to be configured (not published yet)
A step lights up only after it has really happened and there is a date and proof we can publish. “Sent” does not mean “read by the Board”.
