Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns After Alleged Abuse and Spy Affair

Jensen Huang, who resigned this week as head of Nvidia, allegedly berated and humiliated staff with explosive outbursts, including telling an executive he hoped he would die, according to a New York Post report citing sources. The most notable incident occurred last February when Huang reportedly told Jay Puri, then executive vice president of worldwide field operations, "I hope you die and put us all out of our misery" during a tense meeting of over 30 executives. Other alleged clashes included crude insults to a senior sales leader and throwing a water bottle at a top executive. Huang resigned Thursday after admitting to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, and reportedly misled executives about it for over a year. CFO Colette Kress now serves as interim CEO.
