Nvidia hired yet another AMD VP veteran. This time we
are talking about Mr. Jerry Vogel who worked at AMD for almost 30 years as senior
vice president of engineering operations.
In Nvidia, he will start as a new vice president of
customer program management where he will help Nvidia’s customer engineering or
with numerous amount of new Tegra and Tesla designs.
This is not all, as the new Director of marketing for
Quadro is AMD’s Danny Shapiro and the chap use to do the same job at ATI for
FireGL.
Nvidia is not
doing that bad if they are ready to hire such hot shorts as Jerry and Phil
Eisler for probably
quite a lot of money. Nvidia’s team will definitely get much stronger with this
boost in top management. At the same time, Nvidia confirmed that Mr. Eisler did join the company.

Update: We've learned from industry sources that Mr. Jerry Vogel actually left AMD almost two years before be was hired by Nvidia so they didnt really steal him of AMD and that even Mr Phil Eisler left AMD six month prior being hired my Nvidia. That casts a different shade to this picture all together.
