On the wings of artificial intelligence, the value of the company exceeded one billion dollars this year.
Nvidia has had a fantastic year during which the share price rose from $143 to nearly $470 yesterday, and the company’s market value exceeded a trillion dollars. The reason for such success lies in artificial intelligence, i.e. Nvidia’s AI chips, which companies massively use to develop and train this technology.
The CEO of the company, Jensen Huang, is more than satisfied with this development of the situation, and another reason for his satisfaction is the recently conducted survey among users of the professional social network Blind. The aim of the survey was to find out employees’ satisfaction with their bosses, that is, as they stated in the questionnaire, whether employees approve of the way in which the CEOs of their companies manage the company and perform their work. The first place on that list, as the CEO whom the employees trust the most in the way he runs the company, was deserved by Huang.
He received the highest percentage of approval for the way he runs the company, at 96 percent. One of the comments that best describes Huang, written by an Nvidia employee on Blind, is: He predicted AI mania more than a decade ago. I trust him completely. Also, when layoffs were pouring in at numerous tech companies last year, and Nvidia was not performing as expected, Huang told employees that not only would there be no layoffs, but some would also get raises.
The list of top five CEOs includes another well-known face to anyone who follows technology. It is about Tim Cook, who is in fourth place with an approval rating of 83 %, while in front of him are Doug McMillon from Walmart (88 %) and Nikesh Arora from Palo Alto Networks (84 %).
