Tim Cook, the company's current CEO Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, was praised by many people for the style in which he leads the American company, and CNN considers him one of the most important leaders in the world. In the their annual list, Tim Cook it occupies the 33rd position in the top, far behind the new Pope, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Dalai Lama and many other important leaders. Although it does not occupy a leading position, Tim Cook he is still positioned before the presidents YouTube, Amazon or Alibaba.
Following Steve Jobs has arguably been the toughest corporate leadership assignment in decades, yet Cook has carried it off with mostly quiet aplomb. In 2½ years he has kept the parade of winning new products marching (the Retina display, new operating systems, the iPhone 5), and he is bringing in Burberry's savior, Angela Ahrendts, to run Apple's retail stores. That's thinking different.
The simple choice of Tim Cook for the presentation in this top demonstrates how influential the current CEO of the Apple company is, the decisions made by him for the company affecting hundreds of millions of iDevice owners.
