Background
Publicly available sources identify Diana Sharouf in connection with NVIDIA/Mellanox developer events rather than as a named investment professional. NVIDIA’s DPU Hackathon agenda lists “DPU Bootcamp Agenda and Logistics” presented by Diana Sharouf on November 29, 2021. NVIDIA’s DOCA Hackathon agenda similarly lists “DOCA Bootcamp Agenda and Logistics” presented by Diana Sharouf on March 16, 2022.
The underlying company context is Mellanox’s integration into NVIDIA. NVIDIA announced on April 27, 2020 that it had completed its acquisition of Mellanox Technologies for $7 billion, combining NVIDIA computing with Mellanox high-performance networking technology for data-center and high-performance-computing markets.
The stub’s claim that Sharouf is an angel investor could not be verified from public sources reviewed. Public NVIDIA materials identify Nimrod Gindi, not Diana Sharouf, as the NVIDIA/Mellanox investments executive: NVIDIA’s DOCA Hackathon page describes Gindi as SVP of Investments, previously SVP of Investments at Mellanox since February 2015, overseeing Nvidia Networking Ventures, formerly Mellanox Capital.
