Nvidia was founded by

    Jensen Huang
    Chris Malachowsky
    Curtis Priem
Jensen Huang has bee the CEO the whole time.

Malachowsky is still there as a Fellow, member of executive staff and a senior technology executive for the company.

Priem left the company in 2006 and sold all his shares.






"If Curtis Priem, Nvidia’s first CTO, had held onto all his stock, he’d be the 16th richest person in America. Instead, he sold out years ago and gave most of his fortune to his alma mater Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute." https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2023/11/26/this-nvidi...

Thanks. Whenever I feel badly about leaving in 2012 and dumping shares I’ll think about Curtis
