NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang is ranked No. 1 on <\/span>Glassdoor\u2019s Best CEOs<\/span><\/a> list for 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the just-released ranking, recognition is earned directly from the people who know their leadership the best \u2014 employees. Huang topped the list, with 99% of employees approving of the job he does.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs AI and shifting expectations redefine the modern workplace, exceptional leadership has never been more vital,\u201d Glassdoor noted. \u201cThe top 50 CEOs do more than manage day-to-day operations \u2014 they empower their people and drive authentic culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Glassdoor reintroduced the Best CEOs list this year after a hiatus of five years, replacing the <\/span>Best-Led Companies<\/span><\/a> list, which ranked NVIDIA at No. 1 in 2025, in a shift to sharpen the focus on CEO and executive leadership and its impact on employee experience and company reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Glassdoor also publishes a list of <\/span>Best Places to Work in Technology and AI, where NVIDIA ranked No. 1 in January<\/span>.<\/span><\/a> Some 28 of the 50 Best CEOs 2026 winners also earned a spot on <\/span>Glassdoor’s 2026 Best Places to Work list<\/span><\/a>, reinforcing that strong CEO leadership and great workplace culture go hand in hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on Leadership<\/b><\/h3>\n

Rounding out the top five spots on this year\u2019s list of 50 Best CEOs are Jason Johnson of Quick Quack Car Wash; Kevin A.\u00a0 Lobo of Stryker; Alan D. Schnitzer of Travelers, and Chris Czarnecki of Keller Williams.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This award recognizes CEOs \u201cwho are leading with empathy, clarity, and purpose,\u201d at a time when workers are navigating increased uncertainty in the job market, according to Glassdoor, which analyzes employee ratings and reviews to identify the leaders who have earned the highest levels of employee approval and trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTrust in leadership is fraying at exactly the moment employees need it most,\u201d Glassdoor’s Chief Economist, Daniel Zhao, said in a statement. \u201cOur data shows senior leadership ratings hitting their lowest point in nearly a decade. Against that backdrop, the CEOs on this list stand out for doing the opposite: communicating clearly, staying grounded in their company’s mission, and earning genuine trust from the people they lead.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tech Companies Lead the List<\/b><\/h3>\n

While the 50 Best-Led Companies list spans multiple industries, technology companies dominate the ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, nine tech CEOs are on Glassdoor\u2019s 50 Best CEOs list, making technology the most-represented sector, led by NVIDIA, followed by leaders in real estate, financial services, and manufacturing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When providing a company review, employees are asked to rate several factors tied to their employment experience, including sentiment regarding their CEO and senior management\u2019s job performance. Employees also share feedback about the company\u2019s culture via Glassdoor\u2019s anonymous reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n
