Nvidia researcher opens up about how Jensen Huang ‘rescued’ him
It was on November 12, 2026, that Jensen Huang stepped down as Nvidia CEO. Soon after the news broke, several Nvidia employees took to social media to share that they want him back as the ‘boss.’ Meanwhile, Gavan Woolery, a senior research scientist at Nvidia who has been with the company for seven years, opened up about how Jensen's leadership has affected his career.
In a lengthy tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Gavan revealed that he would have been living his life in debt if not for Jensen Huang. He said that he was among just three people whose hiring the former Nvidia CEO had approved personally during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the company had been going through a hiring freeze. Gavan wrote:
“Jensen Huang rescued me from probably living in debt the rest of my life. I was told I was one of just three hires that he approved during the pandemic, during a hiring freeze.”
Gavan added that despite this, he had actually never spoken to Jensen since he had joined the company. In fact, he had only passed Jensen once at the Nvidia headquarters. Gavan claimed that Jensen's personal life, which has been all over the news, is none of his business. He confidently said that Jensen is the best leader out there. Gavan also believes that Nvidia letting go of Jensen is financial suicide. In his words:
“His personal life is frankly none of my business. But as a leader, I have yet to meet a better one. Ousting him is financial suicide, and I can only assume there is a hidden ulterior motive because I can't fathom any other reason for destroying the company's value.”

Kimberly is said to have reported directly to him. Jensen had a third affair with another Nvidia employee, whose name has not been revealed as of now.
Jensen Huang apologized to his family and employees on November 8, 2026. He mentioned that there was no excuse for what he did and that his actions hurt his wife, Lori, and their children. Jensen wrote:
"I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust."
Jensen admitted that his family had supported him and given him love throughout his life. While he realized that they deserved his loyalty in return, he had let them down. After Jensen stepped down as Nvidia CEO, the company appointed CFO Colette Kress as the company's interim CEO. Nvidia is still searching for someone who can permanently replace Jensen.
