The fallout from former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s personal scandal just took a sharp turn. What started with his public admission of infidelity has quickly evolved into a messy corporate governance question: just how much did senior leaders at the world’s most valuable chipmaker know, and how was he able to keep them in the dark?
According to fresh reporting, Huang relied on an insular, tightly controlled inner circle to shield his personal relationships from even the highest-ranking officials at the company. Internally, people had a specific name for this setup: “Jensen by design.”
Sources close to the situation say Huang exercised near-total control over how details regarding his private life moved through the company. As a result, key executives – including members of Nvidia’s own legal department—were left completely out of the loop until Huang finally owned up to the affair.
