Nvidia's next CEO will inherit more than Jensen Huang's job

Detailed summary

Huang's successor faces a difficult task: rebuilding the trust of tens of thousands of workers at a company at the center of the AI boom.

During an NBA tech summit last year, former CEO Jensen Huang described having a management style at Nvidia built on open communication. "I spend all of my time being transparent," said Huang, who has long been lauded for steering the chipmaker's extraordinary rise. Now, reports of Huang's extramarital affairs — with a direct report, another employee, and a client suspected by US intelligence officials of spying for China — have exposed a gap between his professed commitment to candor and how he may have acted behind closed doors. Huang's exit leaves Nvidia's next CEO with a difficult task: rebuilding the trust of tens of thousands of workers at a company at the center of the AI boom.
