Jensen Huang's Last Few Hours As NVIDIA CEO Spent 'Worrying About His Wife Lori', Calls Himself 'Piece Of Sh*t'

Jensen Huang reportedly called himself a 'piece of sh--' in private conversations around the time of his departure from NVIDIA. His wife, Lori, was described as his main concern as scrutiny of his relationships intensified.

By late Wednesday, 11 November, he was reportedly saying 'whatever' and 'I don't care' after fighting to remain chief executive. The people who recalled his self-description had spoken with him in recent days; the account does not place that remark during his final board discussions.

NVIDIA's board accepted his resignation on 11 November, effective immediately, and appointed chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim chief executive. The company announced the changes the following day but gave no reason for his departure.

What Huang Reportedly Said About Wife Lori

Huang was described as caring less about what happened to him than about his wife Lori. He also reportedly expressed concern about the consequences for women being romantically linked to him.

Huang was reportedly more worried about Lori than about what would happen to him. He also expressed concern about the impact on the women linked to him. The account did not explain his specific worries about Lori or describe her response.

Bloomberg's account, written by Drake Bennett and Ian King, described Huang as looking 'broken and shattered' after weeks of denying allegations of infidelity and fighting to retain his position. Its headline carried his reported self-description: 'I'm a Piece of Sh--'.

By late Wednesday night, his usual assertiveness had faded, a person familiar with the situation said. Those in the room felt he had given up. It is unclear when he used the expletive or spoke about Lori, and whether either remark came during the board meeting.

What the Relationship Investigation Found

Reuters' 14 November investigation, based on two people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence, said Huang had an affair with Alice Huang and misled company leaders about their relationship. Alice was a former senior executive at Megaspeed International, an NVIDIA customer.

In October messages to senior colleagues, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, Huang described their interactions as routine customer business. It was unclear when the relationship became intimate.

Huang apologised on Sunday, 8 November, for being unfaithful to his wife and disappointing NVIDIA workers and shareholders. His representative and an Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment on the investigation, while attempts to reach Alice went unanswered.

The investigation also referred to a separate intimate relationship involving another NVIDIA employee, distinct from the allegation concerning healthcare vice-president Kimberly Powell.

Intelligence Allegations Remain Unresolved

The affair does not prove that Alice Huang worked for Chinese intelligence. Indeed, while US authorities suspected she was acting for Beijing, the country denied the allegation. Reuters said it could not independently verify whether she worked on behalf of the Chinese government.

On 12 November, US Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the FBI was investigating but said the Justice Department had not determined whether she was a spy.

Huang's resignation as president, chief executive, and director took effect on 11 November, NVIDIA's SEC filing confirms. The board appointed Colette Kress as interim chief executive and Harvey Jones as chair that day. Kress also remains chief financial officer.

NVIDIA is considering candidates from inside and outside the company for the permanent role. Its announcement thanked Huang for his contributions but gave no reason for his departure.

Jones said: 'The Board has full confidence in Colette and the leadership team, and we expect the company's operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption.'
