Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and over the years has led the company to its current position as one of the two major players in computer graphics chip production, alongside AMD. His immense success in business earned him recognition by Fortune magazine in 1999 as one of the wealthiest individuals under 40 in the United States.

Huang has also been honoured as the world's best CEO by the Harvard Business Review in 2019. In 2021 he was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential people, sharing the magazine's cover with Apple CEO Tim Cook and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Under his leadership, Nvidia solidified its leading position in GPU chip production. With the surge in virtual currencies and NFTs in 2020, there was a substantial increase in demand for high-performance chips, making Nvidia's graphic chips highly sought-after commodities. In 2022, with significant advancements in various AI applications, including the birth of technologies like ChatGPT, Jensen Huang recognized future opportunities and is actively leading the company's efforts in AI chip applications. This involves providing excellent hardware equipment like language model chips for AI software applications, laying a strong foundation for the development of related software, and securing a crucial position in the future technology sector.
