In this episode, Michael Volkov examines the November 12, 2026 resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid an independent board investigation into reports that he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort through a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman, separating what is known from what the investigation has yet to establish. He explains why a CEO’s personal conduct becomes a corporate security and governance issue at a company that holds strategic AI technology, the questions the board must answer about who knew what and whether it had executive-level conflict, counterintelligence, and escalation controls, how founder-centered power and culture are tested in a crisis, and what Caremark oversight exposure for directors and officers would actually require a plaintiff to show. He closes with a board checklist: apply codes and conflicts rules expressly to the CEO, give control-function leaders a protected channel to independent directors, consider an independent chair, add insider-threat risk to oversight, rehearse leadership-misconduct protocols, and refresh succession plans.
