Nvidia VPs Fly Economy, Prioritize 'One Team' Culture Over Perks

As of November 14th, 2025, Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, maintains a unique "one team" culture that extends to its executive leadership. According to a senior executive at the company, Nvidia's vice presidents, including the VP of AI infrastructure Vladimir Troy, fly economy class for work travel, eschewing the luxury perks often associated with top-level positions.

This egalitarian approach is a reflection of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's management philosophy, which emphasizes a flat organizational structure and direct communication. Huang oversees a large number of direct reports, a strategy aimed at improving information flow and avoiding the politics and hierarchy often found in traditional corporate structures.

Furthermore, Nvidia VPs do not have the luxury of executive assistants, further underscoring the company's commitment to a "one team" mentality. This culture, which has been described as avoiding politics and hierarchy, is seen as a way for Nvidia to maintain its focus on the company's mission and the work of its employees.

While some Nvidia executives may have access to private jets, a common perk among top tech leaders, the company's overall approach to work perks appears to be more modest and egalitarian compared to industry norms. This unique corporate culture at Nvidia is seen as a key factor in the company's continued success and market dominance.
