Nvidia's Jensen Huang Resigns After Abusive Leadership and Affairs
Jensen Huang, former CEO of Nvidia, reportedly told a senior vice president, "I hope you die," during a closed-door meeting, according to a New York Post report, highlighting his abrasive leadership style. The incident occurred amid his resignation following admitted affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. The 63-year-old Huang, who maintained a laid-back public image, allegedly subjected employees to verbal abuse, including throwing a water bottle at an executive and berating staff in marathon meetings. Over 60 leaders reported directly to him, and sources said his outbursts left rooms stunned, with some employees surprised they had not leaked earlier. Huang resigned this week after admitting to affairs with at least three women, including Nvidia's vice president of health care, and misleading executives about his relationship with Alice Huang. CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO, while Huang retains a 3.5% stake in the company.
