Exclusive Insight into Nvidia’s Leadership Structure as of 2025

Nvidia, led by CEO Jensen Huang, had a notable leadership structure as of October 2025. Sources reveal that he had 36 direct reports, a significant number when compared to other technology leaders. This list provides insight into the leadership team of the world’s most valuable company.

In November 2026, Nvidia’s board initiated an investigation concerning reports about Jensen Huang being a target of foreign intelligence efforts and admitting to an affair. It remains uncertain how this will affect Huang’s role. A spokesperson stated Huang remains committed to leading Nvidia without interruption.

Nvidia’s Leadership Configuration

Insights from an interview at Stanford in March 2024 revealed that Huang previously had 55 direct reports, many earning the same salary. At that time, he highlighted that fewer organizational layers allow for better information flow, empowering his team.

Some key figures in Huang’s team included:

• Ian Buck: Architect of CUDA software.
• Michael Kagan: Chief Technology Officer.
• Bill Dally: Chief Scientist.

Huang mentioned at the 2023 New York Times DealBook Summit that having more direct reports reduces company layers and aids communication.

Structure Impact and Comparisons

Nvidia’s workforce expanded rapidly due to the AI boom. Huang’s work ethic played a key role in shaping the company’s culture. It’s uncertain if the reduced number of direct reports indicates a shift from this horizontal structure.

Tech leaders have varied preferences on direct reports. Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg manages a ‘core army’ of 30 and does not interact directly with all. At Tesla, Elon Musk had 19 direct reports as of August, with five at xAI.

Internal Organization Details

Nvidia’s leadership included senior executives like:

• Alexis Bjorlin: VP and General Manager for DGX Cloud.
• Amit Krig: SVP of Software and NIC Products.
• Andrew Bell: SVP of Engineering.
• Arjun Prabhu: VP of GPU ASIC Engineering.
• … (list continues)

Jensen Huang stated he avoids scheduling one-on-one meetings, promoting open communication unless a meeting is requested.
