Jensen Huang
1963–Present · Founder & CEO of NVIDIA
He started NVIDIA in a Denny's booth in 1993 making graphics chips for video games. Three decades later, his GPUs power every major AI model on the planet, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, all of them. He saw that parallel processing would change everything while the entire industry focused on faster single cores. He bet the company on CUDA when nobody wanted it. Now NVIDIA is worth more than most countries. A Grithosian sees what others miss and has the patience to wait for the world to catch up.
