Love his informal style. This video from him presenting at Stanford about the beginnings of Nvidia is so awesome exactly for that reason: "...You talk about that for about 6 months. The big event for the day would be 'Hey, where do you guys want to go for lunch?'" Beautiful when you pair it with the fact that they built a company worth many billions of dollars.

I thought he was nerdy business man trying to be cool and it was / is cringy, but years ago I saw him talking with TSMC founder on computer history museum and since I think highly of the guy and really appreciate him. There's a dose of genuineness behind him and you can tell.

I think that's as accurate of a description as I can imagine.

Most CEOs are nerdy business men trying to be cool. Jensen comes across more like a cool nerd trying to be business-y.

Did you see his video before the keynote? I had a good chuckle.

That’s a fancy kitchen.

And he sure has a LOT of really nice spatulas!

His Spatula City Frequent Buyer Card must have a lot of stamps on it.

Those kids bouncing up and down in the back seat with no seatbelts on looks like madness.

It's like the episode of Mad Men where the kids are playing spaceman: https://youtu.be/2XbCWmY0eqY

I rather watch him than those fake converstations on stage done by professional CEOs, or those guys in fancy suits that feel like someone from a TV sales channel.

> He seemed like an excited engineer

Is this a bad thing? I personally avoid presentations made by CEO of big corporations as it’s usually a Bingo of all the trendy buzzwords that as in fine no meaning.

Yes and no.

When a kludged together demo fails and there's an awkward moment, sometimes a little more prep might be nice.

But on the other hand, I feel better about a company focused on doing actual work rather than polishing demos.

Tech demos are notorious for failing on stage. I can’t even think of a well known CEO who hasn’t had one happen. I don’t think this has a thing to do with Jensen’s style.

Especially when he runs over his keynote by like an hour. It's frustrating (is he going to finish before I have to leave for this meeting?) and also really fun listening to a CEO who's so excited about what they've built that he completely loses track of time.

Saw him recently for the first time and really enjoyed his enthusiasm and "real-ness". At one point during the (long) talk, he opined that he really wished he hadn't drank so much right beforehand (i.e., full bladder). Ha.

He is an Amazing salesman though
