Nvidia's communications organization has been reshaped as the company became the face of the AI boom, with multiple teams brought under new leadership and a string of departures, Business Insider reported.
Business Insider identified roughly 15 communications employees who have left Nvidia since 2025, based on LinkedIn profiles and interviews with former employees. The organization now numbers roughly 70 to 80 people globally, and has more than doubled in size since Mylene Mangalindan joined as vice president of corporate communications in 2023, according to a person close to the company.
Mangalindan succeeded longtime communications chief Bob Sherbin, who retired in 2024. She previously worked at the advisory firm Brunswick Group. One former employee told Business Insider she was brought in to "bring fresh blood" and "upgrade the team" to meet Nvidia's growing profile.
At the end of 2024, Nvidia restructured the communications organization. It brought enterprise public relations under Mangalindan alongside the corporate communications team she already led, according to two former employees. One former employee said the consolidation reflected the growing importance of Nvidia's data center business, which sells chips and systems that power AI and had become its biggest revenue driver. Analyst relations and social media also moved under her remit this year, another former employee said.
Three former employees told Business Insider the communications team had long operated with relatively lean staffing. Workloads grew alongside the company's public profile, leaving staff covering multiple roles. They described long hours and pressure to respond quickly to emails and Slack messages. Scheduling time off was difficult, they said.
A person close to Nvidia said the lean staffing allows employees to move quickly but also requires long hours. The person said Mangalindan encourages staff to take vacation, though the team's small size can make scheduling time off difficult, particularly in the summer.
Nvidia is known for high retention. It reported companywide turnover of 3.7% in fiscal 2026, up from 2.5% the prior year. That figure is well below the tech industry average of 21.9% cited in its latest sustainability report. Nvidia traded at $213.90, up 0.82% on the day, and holds an Alpha Score of 71 out of 100, the Moderate label.
CEO Jensen Huang has emphasized operating at the "speed of light" and is known for fostering a culture of constant accountability.
