Who is Lori Huang, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s wife of over 40 years

• Lori Huang met Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang when they were lab partners at Oregon State University.
• They have two children, Madison and Spencer, who both work at Nvidia.
• Here’s what we know about Huang, who leads the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation.

Huang, then known as Lori Mills, first met Jensen Huang as his lab partner in an electrical engineering class in college, according to his biography on the OSU College of Engineering website. They married five years later.

She was older than him and one of the “three girls” in his class, Jensen Huang said in a 2024 interview. He said he won her over with an offer to study together every Sunday, along with a promise that he would be a CEO by 30.

Together, they have two children, Madison and Spencer, who both work at Nvidia. According to their Nvidia bios, Madison is a senior director of product and technical marketing for physical AI platforms, while Spencer is a product line manager leading robotics software.

The woman behind Nvidia’s CEO

Huang herself is the president of the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, a philanthropic organization she and her husband established in 2007.

Based in Palo Alto, the foundation reported $9.1 billion in net assets in 2024, per its IRS filing.

OSU said in a 2022 news release that the Huangs had given $50 million to their alma mater to help establish the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex. In the article, Jensen Huang said that meeting his wife “was the most important, single event of OSU, and of my life.”

The news release also said that Huang graduated in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.

In a May interview with CNA, a Singapore-based media outlet, Jensen Huang spoke about the role his wife has played throughout his career.

“Lori’s been with me for a long time, our whole life,” he said. “She’s been part of Nvidia every step of the way.”

“She’s been to every conference, every speech, you know, and every moment of Nvidia, she was there,” he added.
