The other day I told you that Tim Cook was nominated by Time Magazine for the title of person of the year 2014, and today we learn that he won this title, but not from Time Magazine, but from the Financial Times magazine. Based on the decision taken by the Financial Times stay the way in which the CEO of Apple led the American company throughout this year, including here the article in which he admits that he is homosexual, being the first president of such a large company to act in this way.
Financial success and dazzling new technology alone might have been enough to earn Apple's steely chief executive the FT's vote as the 2014 Person of the Year, but Mr Cook's brave exposition of his values also sets him apart. This was never more powerful than when he talked publicly for the first time about his sexuality.
Separately, Tim Cook's decision to hire Angela Ahrendts as SVP of the retail division was one of the best decisions he made this year, combined with the acquisition of Beats for $3 billion. Finally, the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Pay and the presentation of the Apple Watch helped the Apple company to reach a record value for the stock market capitalization, but also the share price, Tim Cook proving to be the man who approved the perfect actions for financial development of Apple.
In conclusion, Tim Cook is praised as the best president of an American company, and the title of person of the year 2014 is certainly deserved.
