3. Tim Cook & Jonathan Ive, Apple
Age: 52, 46
Last year's ranking: 1
Stage of global conquest: It's been two years since the death of Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. And certainly the tenure of current Apple CEO Tim Cook is full of challenges. The stock price has fallen 35 per cent in the past year. A lot depends on the September's iPhones 5s and 5c sales.
However, Apple still sets the standard for innovation and see this as just a warm-up for 2014, when rumor has it that “all the good stuff is coming” out of Ive's vaunted industrial-design workshop. After Apple Maps fiasco, Cook parted ways with Jobs's longtime software deputy, Scott Forstall, and gave the job of software designer Ive.
