VP of Tegra engineering


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.
