Upgrade to Pro

  • 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.
