The New York Times, citing five former employees, reports that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a female vice president who reports directly to him. Sources say affectionate behavior at a hotel during a major company event in March was filmed, and his bodyguards reportedly offered the person who filmed it a nondisclosure agreement. The Times says it could not verify the video. The Wall Street Journal reports Nvidia’s board is preparing to remove Huang, and the stock fell as much as 8% in after-hours trading.
My take: this is about conflict of interest and succession, not private life. A direct reporting line involves performance reviews, promotions, and pay, which makes it one of the most sensitive issues in any company. That’s why I believe it should be examined through a transparent independent investigation, and why Nvidia should publish a succession plan to reduce its dependence on one founder. These are allegations based on media reports, and the people involved have not confirmed them.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
