Jen-Hsun Huang (黃仁勳; pinyin: Huáng Rénxūn) (born February 17, 1963) co-founded NVIDIA Corporation in 1993 and is currently the CEO and President.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, he spent several years living in Thailand until he was accidentally sent to Oneida Baptist Institute, a Christian boarding reform school in Kentucky. His uncle and aunt, recent immigrants to Tacoma, Washington who spoke little English, unwittingly thought it was a prep school but soon learned otherwise.
