Glassdoor has released its 2026 Best CEOs list, and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang takes the No. 1 spot.
The recognition comes directly from the people who know his leadership best: employees. According to the ranking, 99% of NVIDIA employees approve of the job Huang does.
Huang has led NVIDIA since founding the company in 1993, steering it through the recent AI computing boom to become one of the world's most valuable companies.
Glassdoor's annual list is built from anonymous employee reviews submitted over the past year, making it a widely watched barometer of executive reputation.

As competition for top engineers and researchers intensifies across the industry, employee satisfaction and leadership approval are becoming key retention metrics for tech companies.
Worth watching next is where other tech CEOs land on the full list, and whether NVIDIA can sustain this level of employee approval as it continues to scale.
Why it matters
