nVidia’s Quadro and Tesla sales manager defects to AMD

Earlier this year, KitGuru broke the story that Manju Hegde, nVidias VP for PhysX and Cuda moved across to AMD. Weve just heard that the person managing nVidias professional product sales across a massive region (including the UK) has also defected to Team AMD. Interesting development. KitGuru investigates.

Originally with Seimens, Rob MacDonald is a seasoned veteran with almost 14 years experience in tech. From what we can gather, Rob took over nVidias UK graphics sales operation around 2002 and was then given control of graphic card sales into the Nordic region (Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway).

nVidia then promoted Rob across into Quadro sales and hes been expanding that role ever since. Why is this move significant?  Well, simply put, professional products are the cash cow of the graphics industry.
