Biography
Investor and entrepreneur Harvey Jones joined the board of Nvidia when it was founded in 1993 and has been a director ever since.

In between, he was CEO and chairman of electronic design automation company Synopsys, which now has a market cap of more than $80 billion.
Jones is a billionaire almost entirely due to his Nvidia director's compensation. He owns 0.03% of the company.
He continues to invest as a venture capitalist through his firm Square Wave Ventures.
