Tim Cook Named In Time's List of the 100 Most Influential People of 2022

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, has been included in TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2022, in the "Titans" category. Every year, TIME publishes a list of the most influential celebrities, CEOs, actresses, artists, and others.

Tim Cook has already been on the list, most recently last year. He is listed in the "Titans" category in 2022, as well as "Artists," "Innovators," "Leaders," "Icons," and "Pioneers." Laurene Powell Jobs wrote Tim Cook's description on the list, praising Cook's term as Apple's CEO and the "compassion and discipline" he exhibits as the company's leader. She says that:

"Apple is Tim Cook’s life’s work, and in this work, Tim displays mastery. Tim has demonstrated more range in his leadership of one of the world’s largest companies than any contemporary CEO. Since Apple’s products and policies affect the very character of contemporary life, Tim’s job demands not only business wisdom but also philosophical wisdom. The intense pressure of setting and executing Apple’s progression with deep precision, and of taking responsibility for the company’s effects on society, is almost unimaginable. Yet Tim does it with compassion and discipline, turning to nature to replenish his spirit. In the summer he can be found hiking in our national parks, buoyed by the majesty of the mountains. After more than a decade at the helm, Tim has carved out a place as not only one of the world’s most admired CEOs but an exemplar of moral leadership, technological imagination, environmental stewardship, and humanitarianism. To paraphrase a famous speech by Theodore Roosevelt: Tim strives valiantly, dares greatly, and spends himself in a grand cause."

Next month, Cook will speak at the second annual TIME 100 Summit.
