Nico Caprez, the son-in-law of NVIDIA (NVDA) Chief Executive Jensen Huang, has gone from corporate-development newcomer to one of the chipmaker's most consequential dealmakers in under two years, according to a report published by technology news outlet The Information on Monday, October 5.

Caprez, 35, now serves as a vice president at the Santa Clara-based company, per the report, which charts his rapid ascent within the corporate-development team responsible for evaluating and executing some of NVIDIA's largest strategic transactions. Corporate-development roles at large technology companies typically cover screening acquisition and investment targets, structuring deal terms and shepherding transactions to completion — functions whose workload scales directly with the volume of strategic activity a company pursues.

The rise of Huang's son-in-law comes as NVIDIA manages an unprecedented volume of partnerships, investments and supply agreements tied to the global buildout of artificial-intelligence infrastructure. The company has become the dominant supplier of accelerated-computing hardware underpinning modern AI systems, and its dealmaking activity has expanded accordingly, spanning leading AI laboratories, cloud providers and data-center operators. Such agreements — from equity stakes to long-term supply commitments — are typically the instruments through which a hardware company's order book takes shape, making the pace and quality of deal execution a practical consideration for a firm anchoring its outlook to a half-trillion-dollar benchmark.

NVIDIA has publicly framed the scale of that buildout around a $500 billion benchmark: in October 2025, Huang said the company had secured orders and commitments representing roughly $500 billion in cumulative revenue for its Blackwell platform and its successor, Rubin, through the end of 2026. That figure is the reference point in coverage describing the company's $500 billion AI infrastructure plan.

Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has led the company as chief executive throughout its transformation from a graphics-chip specialist into one of the world's most valuable corporations. The Information's report on Caprez offers a rare look at the personnel behind NVIDIA's expanding corporate-development operation, detailing how a relatively new hire became central to the company's transaction strategy in less than two years. With the orders-and-commitments window running through the end of 2026, how that operation scales alongside the Blackwell and Rubin ramps is one internal detail to track as the buildout proceeds.
