Jensen Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 alongside Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, and has served as chief executive since the company's inception. Trained as an electrical engineer, he held roles at AMD and LSI Logic before establishing Nvidia in Santa Clara, California.
Under his leadership, Nvidia grew from a graphics chip specialist into one of the world's most valuable semiconductor companies. The firm's GPU architecture became central to video gaming, data centre computing, and artificial intelligence workloads. Huang has been widely credited with the strategic decision to develop CUDA, a parallel computing platform that positioned Nvidia's hardware as foundational infrastructure for machine learning research and deployment.
