Jensen Huang

Jen-Hsun 'Jensen' Huang (born May 17, 1963) is a Taiwanese-American technology entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA Corporation, one of the world's most influential semiconductor companies. Born in Taiwan and raised in Thailand before immigrating to the United States, Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem in Silicon Valley. Under his visionary leadership, NVIDIA evolved from a graphics card manufacturer into a technological powerhouse essential to artificial intelligence, data centers, gaming, and autonomous vehicles. The company's GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) became foundational to the AI revolution, making Huang a pivotal figure in shaping modern computing. As NVIDIA's stock soared—particularly following the generative AI boom—Huang's net worth elevated him to billionaire status, making him one of the world's richest people. Known for his distinctive leather jackets and direct communication style, Huang has become a thought leader on technology trends and the future of AI. His strategic vision in anticipating market shifts, particularly the centrality of GPU computing to artificial intelligence, has established him as one of Silicon Valley's most successful and influential executives.
