Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang (born February 17, 1963) is a Taiwanese and American electrical engineer and business executive who is the co-founder, president, and CEO of Nvidia, one of the world's most valuable companies. As of October 2026, Forbes estimates his net worth at over US$200 billion, making him the seventh-wealthiest individual in the world.
The son of Taiwanese American immigrants, Huang spent his childhood in Taiwan and Thailand before moving to the United States, where he was a student in Kentucky and Oregon. After earning a master's degree from Stanford University, he launched Nvidia in 1993 at age 30 from a Denny's restaurant in San Jose, California, and has remained its president and CEO since. Huang led the company out of near-bankruptcy during the 1990s and oversaw its expansion from GPU development into high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI).
Under Huang, Nvidia experienced rapid growth during the AI boom, becoming the first company to reach a market capitalization of over $5 trillion in October 2025. In 2021 and 2024, Time magazine included him in their list of the most influential people. In 2025, Huang was named as one of the "Architects of AI" for Time's Person of the Year.
