Tim Cook este CEO al companiei Apple de doar un an de zile si intr-un top recent a fost numit drept cea mai puternica persoana din industria telecomunicatiilor din SUA. Cook este CEO al companiei Apple de doar un an de zile, insa fiind la conducerea unei companii atat de importante, are privilegiul de a ocupa prima pozitie in acest studiu. Tim Cook a fost ales pentru ca iPhone-ul este atat de popular in SUA si inregistreaza vanzari atat de mari, acesta fiind practic unul dintre factorii esentiali in ordonarea din cadrul top-ului.
It should come as no surprise then that Cook wields enormous power in the wireless industry. After all, the iPhone accounted for fully 77 percent of smartphone sales at AT&T Mobility. Cook’s power, as directed through the iPhone and iPad, translates into tremendous mindshare among U.S. smartphone users (Apple’s iPhone launches generate nationwide headlines) and intense customer loyalty (the iPhone routinely receives top marks in customer satisfaction surveys). What this means is that Cook’s every decision with the iPhone, and Apple’s wireless business in general, can have an enormous impact on the market, ranging from the wireless carriers that sell Apple gadgets to the companies that supply components for the devices to companies that compete against Apple in phones and tablets.
In topul celor mai puternici 25 de oameni din industria telecomunicatiilor din SUA, Tim Cook este urmat de catre Larry Page, CEO al Google, Lowell McAdam, CEO al Verizon, Ralph de la Vega, CEO al AT&T si Dan Hesse, CEO al Sprint. Tim Cook este singurul CEO al unei companii tech din top 5-ul studiului, presedintii Amazon, Samsung si Qualcomm fiind clasati pe locurile 7, 8 si 9.
