The 100 PMs Who Changed the World · No. 13 | Jensen Huang: The Most Expensive Company on Earth — Stuck Outside the Pantheon of Product Managers
No. 13 on the list is Jensen Huang, OVR 94, stuck one full point outside the Pantheon (the 95 line). Just this month, OpenAI's GPT-5.6, xAI's Grok 4.5, Moonshot's Kimi K3, and Meta's Muse Spark took turns dropping new models to grab headlines — but they all run on Jensen Huang's chips. Nobody knows who wins the model war; the man selling the shovels wins for sure. His NVIDIA soared to a $5.4 trillion market cap, the most valuable company on this planet. And yet a man standing at the very core of the AI era can't get into the Pantheon on this product-manager list, ranking only in the Legends tier. The answer hides in the two lowest of his six dimensions: Taste 83, Insight 87. This isn't a knock on him — it's precisely the key to understanding him. He's the most profitable kind of product manager of this era, and that kind of product manager doesn't run on taste.
