Jensen Huang's resignation and the scandal behind it
Huang stepped down on November 12, 2026, following a scandal that combined personal and geopolitical dimensions. He admitted to having an extramarital relationship with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based technology company that was also an Nvidia customer.
The affair raised immediate concerns about conflicts of interest given the business relationship between the two firms, and the situation was further complicated by questions around national security.
His exit marked the end of a remarkable run at the helm of one of the world's most valuable technology companies, and the reaction outside Nvidia's doors suggested his departure hit harder than many corporate leadership changes typically do.

The footage prompted a wave of responses from people reflecting on what kind of leader Huang was to those who worked for and around him.
Wilson Masimba Banda said:
"Then he was a good boss. When employees shed tears, when they hear that the CEO is going, it means he was an exceptionally good boss!"
Haijie Zhen said:
"Jensen got 99% employee approval on Glassdoor, which is like a mythical rating. I think he has been the highest rating ceo for the last decade. If you think achieving a high employee score is easy on Glassdoor, I have NOT seen any of my previous companies CEO approval rating over 40%."
Trip Tnavas offered a more detached take, writing:
"ONLY reason for crying is if you bought the stock at $240 in October. Lol."
