New York Post: Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang accused of telling executive Jay Puri "I hope you die"

According to a November 14 report by the New York Post, former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is accused of telling then-Executive Vice President Jay Puri "I hope you die, let's all be relieved" at a closed-door meeting in February 2026 attended by more than 30 executives. The report also cites insiders describing multiple incidents: Huang reprimanded a senior sales executive at a three-hour meeting attended by about 40 people in 2025, accused an executive of smirking and ordered them to leave, and threw a water bottle at an executive at a headquarters meeting. These allegations have not been independently verified; Huang's spokesperson declined to comment, and Nvidia did not immediately respond. Puri informed Nvidia on June 28 that he intended to retire from operational duties, and the company appointed former Microsoft executive Nicholas Parker to succeed him; regulatory filings did not link his departure to the conflict. The report was published several days after Huang resigned on November 12 as Nvidia's president, CEO and director; his resignation was related to disclosure of personal relationships, and Nvidia has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO.
