How Jensen Huang’s Son-in-Law Became One of His Most Trusted Executives

AI Summary

Nico Caprez, a former professional ski racer and son-in-law of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has become a senior executive and key contact for customers and partners. He oversees Nvidia’s multibillion-dollar relationships with cloud providers and data center firms, helping them secure financing and sales opportunities to expand facilities using Nvidia chips.

A little over a week ago, Madison Huang, a rising star at Nvidia and the daughter of its CEO, celebrated her wedding in Hawaii. Her husband? Nico Caprez, a former pro ski racer whom Madison helped recruit to Nvidia two and a half years ago. And he’s not just any employee. Caprez, 35, has quickly become one of its most important executives and the main point of contact for many customers and partners. He manages Nvidia’s multibillion-dollar relationships with young cloud providers and other data center-related firms, providing them with financial assistance and sales leads so they can keep building facilities with Nvidia chips, executives at those firms say. Madison, who is also 35, and Caprez form a power couple that some employees say could be the future of Nvidia’s leadership under CEO Jensen Huang, who is 63.
