Born in 1963, Jensen grew up in a humble family with a passion for computers and technology. Little did he know that his journey would lead to the creation of one of the most influential companies in the tech industry &#8211; NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang\/#Early_start\" title=\"Early start\">Early start<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang\/#Revolutionize_the_industry\" title=\"Revolutionize the industry\">Revolutionize the industry<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang\/#Leadership\" title=\"Leadership\">Leadership<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang\/#Global_powerhouse\" title=\"Global powerhouse\">Global powerhouse<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_start\"><\/span>Early start<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From a very young age, Jensen displayed an insatiable curiosity and an extraordinary aptitude for mathematics and science. He often took apart household appliances just to see how they worked and spent hours programming on his first computer, an Apple II. His parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue his interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen&#8217;s path to success was not without its hardships. After completing his education in electrical engineering and computer science at Oregon State University, he moved on to Stanford University, where he earned his master&#8217;s degree in electrical engineering. It was there that he met Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, who would later become his co-founders at NVIDIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revolutionize_the_industry\"><\/span>Revolutionize the industry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio shared a vision of building a company that would revolutionize computer graphics. But in the early 1990s, the tech industry was far from stable. Facing financial constraints, they struggled to secure funding and faced countless rejections. They even had to mortgage their homes to keep their dream alive. These were trying times, but they were determined to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1993, Jensen and his team finally managed to secure the funding they needed to start NVIDIA. Their first product, the NV1, was met with mixed reviews, but Jensen&#8217;s unwavering commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries kept the company afloat. He believed in creating a culture of constant improvement and learning, which he instilled in NVIDIA&#8217;s DNA from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leadership\"><\/span>Leadership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Jensen&#8217;s leadership, NVIDIA persevered and continued to innovate. In 1999, they released the GeForce 256, a groundbreaking graphics processing unit (GPU) that changed the gaming industry forever. NVIDIA&#8217;s GPUs became the gold standard for high-performance graphics, and they diversified into other markets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/tag\/artificial-intelligence\">artificial intelligence<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/tag\/autonomous\">autonomous<\/a> driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen&#8217;s leadership style was characterized by his passion, vision, and a hands-on approach. He was known for his trademark leather jacket, which symbolized his dedication to pushing the limits of technology. He inspired his employees to think big and take risks, fostering a culture of innovation that allowed NVIDIA to stay at the forefront of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_powerhouse\"><\/span>Global powerhouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, NVIDIA&#8217;s stock soared, and the company became a global powerhouse. Under Jensen&#8217;s guidance, it continued to expand its reach and influence, becoming a leader in artificial intelligence, deep learning, and data center solutions. His vision for AI-driven technology was a driving force behind the company&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen Huang&#8217;s story is a testament to the power of determination, innovation, and leadership. He turned his childhood passion into a multi-billion-dollar empire, defying the odds and overcoming countless obstacles along the way. His journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs and technologists worldwide, reminding us that with vision, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we can achieve the extraordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The architect of NVIDIA&#8217;s continued success. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[111,22],"tags":[173,181,180,147,38],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceoww.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
