Jensen Huang, Nvidia - #3 in the US (by market cap)
Hock Tan, Broadcom - #9 in the US
Jensen is Taiwanese (moved to US when 9 yrs old).
Hock Tan is ethnically Chinese, originally from Malaysia (moved to US to study undergrad at MIT).
There's much talk about Indian-Americans being CEO's. However, now there are 2 East Asian CEO's of the top 10 companies just as there are 2 South Asian CEOs in the top 10.
One of the reasons people haven't yet talked about the narrative of E Asian CEO success may be that both Nvidia and Broadcom's entry into the upper echelon of corporate America has been recent. Broadcom stock has 5x'd in the last 3 years. Nvidia has more than 10x'd in that time. All 4 co's are tech companies- Broadcom and Nvidia are hardware companies; MSFT and Google are software companies.
But now that the reality dawns on people, the perception about East Asians as leaders ought to change.
Earlier there was a stereotype - about both S. and E. Asians - that they are merely low-level white collar workers meant to carry out the grunt labor. The success of these leaders is slowly but surely dispelling that notion.
