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 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.
The departures have also included newer hires. Anna Soellner, who was recruited to lead corporate communications, left after roughly four months, Business Insider previously reported.
Nvidia is known for high retention. It reported companywide turnover of 3.7% in fiscal 2026, up from 2.5% the prior year, and well below the tech industry average of 21.9% cited in its latest sustainability report.
Mangalindan succeeded longtime communications chief Bob Sherbin, who retired in 2024. She previously worked at the advisory firm Brunswick Group.
She was brought in to “bring fresh blood” and “upgrade the team” to meet Nvidia’s growing profile, one former employee said.
At the end of 2024, Nvidia restructured its communications organization. It brought enterprise public relations under Mangalindan’s leadership alongside the corporate communications team she already led, according to two former employees.
Corporate communications focuses on Nvidia’s reputation and major media outlets, while enterprise handles product and industry messaging, including for its data center business.
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, social media, and influencer marketing also moved under Mangalindan’s remit this year, another former employee said.
Three former employees said Nvidia’s communications team had long operated with relatively lean staffing, even as workloads grew alongside the company’s public profile, leaving staff juggling multiple responsibilities.
These employees said they experienced long hours, difficulty taking time off, and pressure to respond quickly to emails and Slack messages.
A person close to Nvidia said the company’s lean staffing allows employees to move quickly and 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 widely known for its demanding work environment. CEO Jensen Huang has emphasized operating at the “speed of light” and is known for fostering a culture of constant accountability.
