May 30 (Reuters) - Jensen Huang, the chief of chipmaker Nvidia Corp (NVDA.O), has joined an elite list of tech executives to head a company worth $1 trillion.
Nvidia shares have been on a tear, rising on stellar sales projections from a boom in artificial-intelligence workloads and components.
Huang was born in Taiwan but moved to the United States as a child, earning engineering degrees at Oregon State University and Stanford University.
In 1993 he founded Nvidia along with Curtis Priem and Chris Malachowsky, securing backing from Silicon Valley's Sequoia Capital and others.
As companies further adopt AI, Nvidia could be one of the key beneficiaries.
