About Jensen Huang

Jensen Huang cofounded graphics-chip maker Nvidia in 1993 and has served as its CEO and president ever since.

Huang owns approximately 3% of Nvidia, which he took public in 1999.

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 $3 trillion in 2024.

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.
