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.
The first distinction came some time ago, but the one offered by CNN Money was announced during this day. Those from CNN took into account the entire work done by Tim Cook during this year for Apple, the extremely good financial results of the company "weighing" heavily in the decision to award him the award.
Those from CNN Money detail in a complex article the ways in which Tim Cook knew how to lead Apple and reassure the company's investors, all culminating in the highest price recorded for shares. Now whether or not Tim Cook deserves this award remains to be seen, but it is clear that he did a very good job at Apple.
