At Nvidia's Silicon Valley headquarters, one of the tech industry's most powerful figures embraced an engineer who survived 428 days in Hamas captivity. Avinatan Or and his partner, Noa Argamani, met Thursday evening for the first time since Or's return from captivity, with Nvidia CEO and founder Jensen Huang, at the company where Or works as an engineer.

The meeting was organized by Amit Krig, senior vice president and head of Nvidia's development center in Israel. The emotional gathering at the company's US headquarters included the Israeli management team, who were at headquarters for professional meetings.

During the meeting, Jensen Huang, CEO of chip giant Nvidia and one of the most prominent and admired figures in global tech in recent years, who heard about the abduction on October 7 and was involved in the details, wished him and hostage survivor Noa Argamani "to see the whole world."

Nvidia Israel's legal counsel and vice president of human resources, Gideon Rosenberg, attended the rallies in Hostages Square every Saturday night for the release of the hostages. He said that "Jensen is a very empathetic person. When I told him about Avinatan's abduction, he immediately responded and informed all the company's employees worldwide that their colleague had been kidnapped. There are no words to describe what he did from that moment to help."
