Jay Puri joined NVIDIA

In 2005, Jay Puri joined NVIDIA as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, stepping into a critical leadership role at a transformative time for the company and the broader tech industry. During this initial four-year period (2005–2009), Puri’s mission was clear and foundational: to build and scale NVIDIA’s global sales infrastructure - a structure that would enable the company to expand far beyond its roots in graphics processing and into new, high-growth markets. As SVP of Worldwide Sales, Puri undertook the challenge of professionalizing and expanding the company’s sales operations, implementing systems, processes, and structures that would support global growth. This involved not only recruiting and developing regional sales leaders across North America, Europe, and Asia but also establishing repeatable go-to-market frameworks, scalable partner programs, and improved customer engagement models. By the end of this period in 2009, Jay Puri had successfully transformed NVIDIA’s sales capability from a product-focused function into a globally integrated, strategically aligned force - ready to support the company’s ambitions across consumer, professional, and enterprise sectors. #NVIDIA #SalesLeadership #GlobalTechGrowth #GPUEra #StrategicExecution
