John Griffith is a Cloud Platforms at NVIDIA at NVIDIA. Colleagues describe him as "I've collaborated in open source projects with, competed commercially against, and most recently worked with John as part of a tightly knit team. He helps define the archetype for effective community development and leadership. While a strong proponent of the promise of "open" he possesses a balanced, professional, and pragmatic view of where it's best placed and similarly how it's sustained. He's an impressive history of forming coherent and highly successful projects from amongst competing interests / agendas and business models and manages to balance maintaining an amicable dynamic with introducing tension to advance the state of the art. And ultimately, in a world in which "code wins," John's a winner."
