Jensen Huang Watch posted an update
Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia chief executive and hired the law firm Paul Weiss, The Information reports, citing The New York Times. The report says the resignation came four days after Nvidia’s board announced an investigation involving him.
Why it mattersThe leadership change matters well beyond one boardroom: Nvidia supplies chips central to the AI computing boom. The Information’s brief does not give details about Huang’s legal work or what Nvidia’s investigation may find. For now, the confirmed news here is a sudden departure and a separate legal hire, not a verdict.
Discuss: Should Nvidia’s board prioritise continuity by choosing an insider, or look outside the company after a leadership crisis?

Jensen Huang Watch Update What changedThe Information says Reuters reported that Jensen Huang had affairs with at least two Nvidia employees while leading the company. The report adds a new allegation to coverage of Huang’s departure from Nvidia.
The Information notes that the New York Times had reported the previous day that Huang had an intimate relationship with Kimberly Powell, a Nvidia vice-president who reported directly to him. The Reuters report, as summarised by The Information, does not name the other employee.
This is an attributed report about Huang’s private conduct, not a finding about the circumstances of his departure or any company investigation. The distinction matters when a personal allegation arrives alongside a major leadership change.
