On October 5, local time, IT-focused outlet The Information reported that Caprez, NVIDIA's Vice President of Global AI Infrastructure Growth, has recently taken charge of major deals involving AI data centers and cloud service providers, earning the trust of CEO Huang and establishing himself as a core figure in the company.

Caprez, who is from Switzerland, has a background as an alpine ski athlete. According to the International Ski Federation (FIS) records, he placed 6th in the Super-G at the 2010 Junior World Championships and also competed in the European Cup among other events.

After ending his skiing career, he worked as a consultant at the Zurich office of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) before attending London Business School (LBS). There, he met Madison Huang (35), CEO Huang’s daughter; they both graduated in 2021. Afterwards, Caprez worked as an investment analyst at a Swiss asset management firm until he joined NVIDIA in February 2024, introduced by Madison.

He was promoted to Director of Global AI Infrastructure in October of last year and then became Vice President in January this year. Madison Huang was also promoted in March to Senior Director of Physical AI Product Marketing, and their son, Spencer Huang (36), serves as Director of Robotics Product Management at NVIDIA.

Caprez, who held his wedding with Madison in Hawaii at the end of last month, reportedly returned to work without a honeymoon and attended a NVIDIA investor dinner in New York.

Industry insiders say Caprez seems to have adjusted well to CEO Huang’s intense work style. Sikandar Rashid, Head of AI Infrastructure at Brookfield Asset Management, mentioned that last year CEO Huang introduced Caprez by saying, “If something needs to be done, talk to him.”

An executive of a cloud company described Caprez as CEO Huang’s “consigliere”—his closest advisor. The Information also reported that there is speculation within NVIDIA that CEO Huang’s children and son-in-law may take on greater roles in the company's management in the future.

Meanwhile, Caprez, who has previously avoided media interviews and outside exposure, is now increasingly attending conferences and becoming active on LinkedIn. Recently, he posted on LinkedIn that “AI has become essential infrastructure,” and emphasized how NVIDIA’s GPUs and AI equipment are now recognized as assets for loans and investments in the financial markets.
