Jensen Huang had a strict no one-on-one meetings rule for his 60 direct reports—and Nvidia’s interim CEO has a similar mantra: ‘We don’t waste a dime’

Jensen Huang, the former CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, was known for his strict policy against one-on-one meetings with his 60 direct reports. In a time when he had a large team under his supervision, he refused to hold catch-ups, arguing that they would clutter his schedule and hinder the team's ability to effectively address challenges and stay transparent.

Huang's successor, Colette Kress, currently serving as the interim CEO, shares his affinity for efficiency and believes in avoiding unnecessary expenses. At Stanford University, Kress echoed this sentiment, stating that they "don't waste a day, we don't waste a dime" and emphasized the importance of agility and rapid decision-making within the company.
