- Colette Kress is interim CEO as Nvidia searches for a successor.

## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang allegedly subjected employees to repeated, harsh outbursts, including insulting senior executives in meetings and once throwing a water bottle at a top executive, according to people cited in the article. The claims contrast with his relaxed public image and describe a workplace where staff feared being publicly berated.

One reported incident occurred at a February meeting attended by more than 30 executives, when Huang allegedly told then-sales chief Jay Puri he hoped he would die; Puri is now a senior adviser. The article also cites other clashes, including a three-hour meeting in 2025 and an August exchange with finance chief Colette Kress. Huang’s spokesman declined to comment, Nvidia did not immediately respond, and CFO Kress is serving as interim CEO while the board seeks a successor.
