Jensen Huang might be the most unconventional CEO in tech.
No 1:1s. No status reports. No 5-year plans.
Yet he’s built Nvidia into a $3T juggernaut.
Here’s how he runs the company
He has 40 direct reports and no 1:1s
Believes a flat org is most empowering — and it starts at the top
Doesn’t do private meetings — everything happens in groups
Doesn’t give career advice — “They already made it. They’re doing great”
No status reports — he “samples the system”
Doesn’t trust filtered updates — they’re too polished
Anyone can email him their “top 5” — he reads ~100 every morning
He wants unfiltered ground truth, not manager summaries
Everyone has all the context, all the time
No VP-only or director-only meetings — anyone can jump in
Strategic decisions are shared publicly
He reasons out loud — on purpose
No formal planning cycles
No 5-year plans, no 1-year plans
Always adapting to fast-moving markets — especially in AI
This org design is optimized for:
- Attracting exceptional talent
- Sharing information fast
- Staying lean while scaling
Wild to think the future of AI might be shaped by the one CEO who refuses to follow the standard playbook.
