NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Makes Cover of 2021 TIME 100 Most Influential People | TechPowerUp
 
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been selected as one of only seven individuals to receive their own cover for the upcoming print edition of the TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2021. The Taiwanese-American earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992 before co-founding NVIDIA in 1993 where he now holds the role of CEO. He has been described as one of the most technically savvy CEOs by Andrew Ng who is a founder of DeepLearning.AI and has written about Jensen for Time.

When Jensen directed NVIDIA to focus on GPU development in 2003 there was considerable skepticism however the gamble has paid off with the company holding a market-leading position and recording profits in the billions. This latest award will add to the numerous already received by him including the Robert N. Noyce Award from the Semiconductor Industry Association and an honorary doctorate from the National Taiwan University. The special 2021 print edition of TIME 100 Most Influential People will be available to purchase from September 17th.
 
I suppose I can't really disagree with this decision. I hope Lisa Su the CEO of AMD was also considered.

    I would say he earned his ego.  You have the entire gamut of innovations from GPUs, AI and machine learning, data/network systems, embedded systems, etc., that as CEO, he brought to the market.
     
    As co-founder and CEO he took the company from $158M in revenue in 1999 to $16.68B at the beginning of 2021.  That is a lot if sales, particularly when the company started with $40,000.
     
    The IPO stock in 1999 was $12. and today with splits it is now $223.41, and its market cab is $556.50B.
     
    So, I think has a right to be proud of his accomplishments.
