60 direct reports and the amount of time Jensen travels and was at conferences and on TV mean "extremely deep involvement in all facets of the business" (or in much of anything) is not possible.

I don't care if Jensen is superhuman... there are only 24 hours in a day and he has to sleep at least 4-6 of those. The remaining 18 hours is simply not enough time for anyone to get deeply involved in more than few focused areas at any one time.

On the flip-side... some CEO's with technical backgrounds like it to seem like they are intimately involved in crucial technical brainstorming, invention, and design sessions. The reality is, in almost all cases, the hard and deeply-innovative work was done by a group of subject matter experts (who had the time and expertise to get extremely deeply involved) before the CEO ever stepped foot in a meeting room on the topic. The meeting is there to make the CEO feel like they were deeply involved and win their buy-in for the decision that has already been made.

Edit: Jensen is one of the all-time great tech CEO's ... not trying to cast shade on him. I have made a lot of money off nVIDIA over the last 10+ years and think they are worse off without him.
