Exclusive: Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reported to have erupted in anger in the office and berated executives, once telling an executive "I hope you die"

The New York Post, citing multiple insiders, reported that former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who has resigned, repeatedly lost his temper and humiliated subordinates in meetings during his tenure, including telling then-Executive Vice President Jay Puri "I hope you die" last February, and once throwing a water bottle at an executive. Huang resigned on November 12, 2026, after admitting to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy; the report says he also had affairs with at least three women, including Nvidia Vice President of Healthcare Kimberly Powell. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress has become interim CEO. Huang has hired a law firm to prepare to testify before Congress on the "spy" matter; lawmakers want to understand Nvidia's dealings with Singaporean AI company Megaspeed. U.S. officials have long suspected Megaspeed of involvement in smuggling advanced AI chips to China; Megaspeed denies wrongdoing.
