Meet Jensen Huang’s son-in-law, a former pro skier and the Nvidia CEO’s ‘consigliere’ who could play a massive role in the company’s succession plan
Vladimir Troy, Nvidia’s vice president of AI infrastructure who works alongside Caprez, said “Nico is very important.” A cloud executive who also met with Caprez called him “Jensen’s consigliere” in an interview with The Information.
Key points
- Bernstein analysts, in a note published on Sunday, noted it would be unclear who could or would fill Huang’s shoes because the identity of his company is so inextricably linked to his own.
- Jensen is committed to continuing to lead Nvidia as CEO without interruption,” a company spokesperson told Fortune in a statement.
- Nvidia has since launched an independent investigation into its CEO and his romantic relationship with suspected spy Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed International.
The probe has reinvigorated investors’ concerns about the need to construct a succession plan, which, notably, Huang and Nvidia have not publicly shared.
In January, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was asked how he’s managed to lead the company since its 1993 founding.
Additional details
- “I do imagine Huang is kind of preparing [Madison] and Nico for that next step,” one Nvidia employee who works with Caprez, told The Information last month.
- “Nvidia is not an ordinary company and Jensen is not an ordinary CEO,” they wrote.
- As Huang faces increased scrutiny after he admitted to the affair with an alleged spy, he now faces questions about whether he can continue on as the company’s top brass.
- Caprez is a former alpine skier representing Switzerland who began his career as a Boston Consulting Group consultant.
- The young executive was part of deal-making efforts to raise $500 billion with six major asset managers including Apollo Global Management and Blackstone, to finance Nvidia chips for data centers in August.
