Nvidia's Huang Slays CES 2017 Keynote, Demonstrating Execution In Growth Markets And Technologies

There's a reason Nvidia's stock price soared to an all-time high in December and has experienced a meteoric rise of just shy of 80 percent since November. Part of the company's success can be attributed to its strong execution in design and delivery of its core GPU products in the key markets of gaming, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and the data center, of course. However, the company's vision and its ability to execute on that vision all starts with very strong leadership from its CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang. At last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Huang and Nvidia were invited to deliver the opening keynote for the show and the characteristically polished and poised CEO offered an impressive dog-and-pony of the company's key technologies and IP, supported by industry partner demonstrations. Of course gaming was one of the cornerstones of Huang's pitch, and with north of a $100 billion dollar market opportunity behind it in 2017, that stands to reason.
