Introducing The Information’s 50 Most Influential People in Tech

Money, technical savvy and disruptive ideas all matter within the technology industry. But the most seismic force is influence. Those who have it build, fund and steer the companies that alter the world—again and again. Those without it can only rise so far.

Coming up with such a list would be a relatively simple exercise. Rather, we’re providing a roster of the people we believe will have the most influence over the next decade, a more complex task that The Information is uniquely well positioned to pull off.
