Former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia called on Saturday for Jensen Huang to be reinstated as CEO of Nvidia.
Huang, who resigned as CEO after it was revealed that he had had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, is being considered for a return to the role, according to leaked posts from the company’s internal messaging system.
‘Bring back the boss’
According to the leaked posts, Nvidia employees called on the board of directors to reconsider its position, with most comments calling for Huang’s immediate reinstatement under the slogan “Bring Back the Boss.”
Despite the public and legal scrutiny, support for Huang within the company remains strong, the posts indicate.
Zacharia reiterated her support in a post on X.
Yes, I did, because I understand how valuable @JensenHuang is to our country.

Zacharia’s first and only press briefing as White House press secretary lasted about 14 minutes and was widely criticized as stilted and underprepared.
She also faced intense public scrutiny after it was revealed that her purported legal background was fabricated, as she had never passed the bar exam.
She served under US President Donald Trump for five days in October, the shortest tenure of any White House press secretary in US history.
