Daniel Kraizer elevated to director, NPI engineering & operations at NVIDIA
From managing launches to leading strategy, Kraizer steps into top role
YOKNEAM: Daniel Kraizer is stepping into a bigger spotlight at NVIDIA, having been elevated to director, NPI engineering and operations. The move marks the next chapter in a journey shaped by hands-on leadership in new product introduction and a steady climb through the ranks.
Kraizer most recently served as Sr. manager, NPI engineering, a role in which he steered complex product launches and fine-tuned operational frameworks. Before that, as manager, NPI engineering, he built a reputation for aligning cross-functional teams and delivering results in high-performance environments.
His association with NVIDIA spans over six years, beginning shortly after the company’s acquisition of Mellanox Technologies, where he had already been laying the groundwork as an NPI engineer and later manager, NPI engineering. The continuity has given him a front-row seat to the evolution of cutting-edge hardware and the operational muscle required to bring it to market.
With this elevation, Kraizer now takes on a broader mandate, overseeing both engineering execution and operational strategy. His track record suggests a leader who thrives where precision meets pace, a fitting match for a company that operates at the sharp end of innovation.
An industrial and management engineering graduate from ORT Braude College, Kraizer’s journey blends technical rigour with organisational insight, a combination that continues to power his upward trajectory.
