"Inform your supply chain like your own employees Nvidia's supply chain runs through hundreds of suppliers across memory, power, packaging, and manufacturing, and Huang manages that dependence by actively shaping suppliers' investment decisions years in advance — the same way he shapes his own employees' beliefs. Three years before HBM memory became mainstream in data centers, he personally convinced CEOs of DRAM companies to invest in building HBM capacity, telling them: "this was going to be a mainstream memory for data centers in the future." All three companies subsequently had record years. Anyone who depends on external partners — suppliers, distributors, regulators — should invest in continuously educating those partners about where demand is going, not just what is needed today.
