Paul Jaski, who managed demos for Jensen Huang's keynotes and events, shares a 16-year-old story: despite being the founder, Huang flew coach per company travel policy — the author found him in a middle seat around row 14, working on his BlackBerry on a San Jose–Phoenix flight. Huang once told him intensely, "I would do anything for this company."
