Every year Fortune Magazine makes a list of the most important businessmen in the USA, and this year Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, is positioned in second place, after Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos. Tim Cook was placed in the second position for the way he led Apple in the last year, because the value of the company's shares exceeded $700, because iPhone 5 recorded a sales record in the fall of this year and because overall Apple launched interesting products.
Despite a shuffling of executive management, Tim Cook's first full-year as CEO was chock-full of milestones: Apple's stock soared to an all-time high of $705.07 per share, and its latest iPhone sold more than 5 million units during its first weekend on sale — a company record. –JM
If you wonder why Jeff Bezos ranks first, well the people from Fortune say that his courage to take risks and change trends in the industry brought him this position and I for one believe that she is on fully deserved.
