#20: Tim Cook
Apple CEO and Time Magazine’s runner-up for Person of the Year behind Barack Obama is such a highly influential person that iGaming need not be a thought on his mind in order for our industry to remain highly interested by the decision-making of Apple’s front office. Since taking over for Steve Jobs as the head of Apple, Cook has kept Apple’s culture right on track. Unfortunately, this has been to the disappointment of some in the iGaming industry who struggle to see their mobile gaming products approved for distribution through the iTunes store.
