His name hasn't been mentioned at all, so he is likely not in the hunt. I feel that he would be an interesting wildcard. This is why:
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang utilizes an intensely hands-on, transparent, and "founder-mode" management style characterized by extreme directness, a flat organizational structure with 60+ direct reports, and a preference for group problem-solving over one-on-one meetings. He fosters a "no task is beneath me" culture, emphasizing speed, high-stakes risk-taking, and constant communication via daily, concise emails.
Key aspects of Huang's leadership include:
Flat Structure & Extreme Delegation: Instead of traditional management layers, Huang has roughly 60 direct reports, aiming to keep himself accessible and information flowing freely throughout the company.
"No 1-on-1s" Rule: He dislikes private meetings, preferring to address issues with groups to ensure shared context and foster collective accountability.
Transparent Communication: Huang famously requests employees email him their top five priorities weekly, allowing him to stay connected to the pulse of the company.
Direct & Constructive Feedback: He is known for giving direct feedback in front of peers, believing that public, transparent discussions accelerate learning and decision-making.
High-Pressure, High-Purpose Culture: He pushes for "pain and suffering" to achieve great things, believing that intense focus and determination can drive employees to exceed expectations.
Strategic Adaptability: He encourages an "ongoing" planning process rather than rigid long-term plans, enabling NVIDIA to adapt quickly to new technological landscapes.

Huang’s leadership is often described as obsessive, and he often takes a hands-on approach to both strategic planning and daily operational tasks.
- The coming-of-age thing. He is valued at $160 billion and growing fast. But he lacks name recognition with the general public; owning a sports team, especially a high-profile NFL team, will help towards that.
- The PNW connection. He went to Oregon State for his undergraduate.
- With $160b, no problem in buying.
- He is also too busy to mess with football decisions.
