A cook, a cocktail bar owner and a ski racer: Meet Jensen Huang's children and son-in-law working at Nvidia

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is under fire over his alleged personal relationships with an alleged Chinese spy as well as another colleague. Unverified reports have also raised questions about his future at the chipmaking giant, which he co-founded in 1993. According to reports, the Nvidia board is now looking to oust Jensen from the company. The developments have brought renewed attention to the question of who could eventually succeed Huang, one of the most influential figures in the global technology industry. Among the names drawing attention are his daughter, Madison Huang, son Spencer Huang and son-in-law Nico Caprez, all of whom work at Nvidia.

Madison Huang: From culinary school to Nvidia's physical AI business

Madison Huang has frequently made public appearances alongside with her father at major technology events. She was also seen with him at the World Robot Conference in Beijing in August 2026. She currently serves as senior director of product and technical marketing for Nvidia's physical AI platforms, including Omniverse Cosmos and Isaac.

However, Madison's career began far from Silicon Valley. She trained at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before working in restaurant kitchens. She subsequently spent nearly four years at luxury goods group LVMH, where she worked in marketing for champagne brands including Dom Pérignon and Veuve Clicquot.


In 2019, she began an MBA programme at London Business School and also undertook a short artificial intelligence course at MIT. She joined Nvidia in 2020 as a marketing intern before progressing to her current position.

Despite her growing responsibilities, Madison is not an executive officer at Nvidia and does not report directly to her father. Her current senior director position also means she would have to make a substantial leap to become CEO of a company with several experienced senior executives.

Huang has previously indicated that his children would have to earn the top job rather than receive it because of their family connections.

Spencer Huang: From running a cocktail bar in Taipei to Nvidia robotics

Like his sister, Spencer did not follow a conventional technology career path. He graduated in 2012 with a marketing and cultural arts degree from Columbia College Chicago. He later studied Mandarin at National Taiwan University. Around 2014, he co-founded a cocktail bar in Taipei. He subsequently enrolled in an MBA programme at New York University, focusing on artificial intelligence, before joining Nvidia in 2022.

Spencer currently serves as director of product management for robotics at Nvidia. His work involves developing product strategies and tools that help robots learn, test tasks in virtual environments and eventually perform them in the physical world. As per a report of LiveMint, which cited Nvidia's FY2026 proxy filing, Spencer received total compensation of approximately $1.32 million during the financial year.

Nico Caprez: Is Jensen Huang's son-in-law becoming an influential figure at Nvidia?

Nico Caprez, Jensen Huang's son-in-law, has also emerged as an important member of the family working at Nvidia. Caprez, 35, is a former Swiss national team ski racer who studied banking and finance at the University of Zurich. He later worked as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) before meeting Madison Huang at London Business School, where they were classmates.

He joined Nvidia in early 2024 as a corporate development manager and became vice president of global AI infrastructure growth in January 2026. The couple married in Hawaii in September 2026.

According to The Information, which spoke to more than a dozen people familiar with his work, Caprez has become an influential adviser to Huang and an important point of contact for newer cloud computing providers, commonly known as neoclouds, which rent out Nvidia-powered computing infrastructure. The publication described him as Huang's "consigliere", suggesting that his influence extends beyond his formal job responsibilities.

However, Caprez's relatively short tenure at Nvidia could make any move to the CEO position particularly difficult to justify, especially given the experience of other senior executives at the company.

Could Jensen Huang's children succeed him at Nvidia?

Although Madison and Spencer have established positions within Nvidia, there is no indication that either has been formally selected to replace their father.

Huang has previously spoken about the demands of running Nvidia and indicated that his children would have to earn the opportunity if they wanted to lead the company.
