Choose the right perspective
Decide first whether your question is about direct spend, such as storage, optics, semiconductors and contract manufacturers, or indirect spend, such as facilities, construction and professional services, and pick a person whose title matches. For current practice, favor people whose NVIDIA role is current, and weigh how long ago any former role ended.
