Nvidia CEO's son-in-law rises to key AI infrastructure role

Nico Caprez, a former Swiss ski prospect and son-in-law of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has risen to a strategic vice president role at the AI chip giant, overseeing global AI infrastructure growth since January 2026. He is involved in investment plans totaling nearly $500 billion with partners like Apollo and Blackstone. Caprez, 35, joined Nvidia in February 2024 after working at Boston Consulting Group. He met Madison Huang, Jensen's daughter and a senior AI marketing director, at London Business School; they married in September. Colleagues reportedly nickname him the "consigliere" to Huang, and he is seen as a potential successor amid speculation fueled by the CEO's recent espionage scandal. Before his business career, Caprez was a Swiss junior downhill champion in 2010 but retired from skiing due to a knee injury. Jensen Huang, 63, has stated he intends to continue leading the company he founded in 1993.
