  • Solid understanding of NICs, SuperNICs, DPUs, data center networking, Ethernet, RDMA/RoCE, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, security and storage acceleration, and AI data center architectures.
  • Ability to translate deep technical capabilities into executive narratives, customer value propositions, sales plays, proof points, and actionable go-to-market plans.

  • Experience building ISV partner motions for cloud-native infrastructure, storage, security, observability, virtualization, databases, data processing, AI training, AI inference, or enterprise platforms.
  • Technical knowledge of NVIDIA products and services, plus enterprise, hyperscaler, and ISV qualification, deployment, and lifecycle models.
