Jensen Huang is a Taiwanese-American engineer and business executive who co-founded NVIDIA in 1993, serving as its President, CEO, and board member since inception. As of early 2026, he leads the world's largest company by market capitalization, transforming it from a gaming graphics firm into the dominant provider of AI and accelerated computing hardware (GPUs) and software. Born in Taiwan, Huang moved to Thailand as a child, but his family sent him and his brother to the U.S as civil unrest mounted in the Asian nation. Under Huang, Nvidia's GPUs became dominant first in computer gaming and now in AI, propelling the company's market cap past $4 trillion in 2025.
He's given Stanford $30 million for an engineering center and, in 2022, gave $50 million to Oregon State University for a namesake research center.
