New York-based Fortune magazine announced the 100 most powerful names in the business world. Tesla boss Elon Musk topped the list, while Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya ranked 83rd on the list.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk ranked first on the list. It was reported that Musk’s “broad vision and engineering intuition” made him a recognized leader in many sectors.
The list, which points out the successes of Musk’s companies SpaceX and Neuralink, also notes that Musk is increasingly spending more time on politics and has become one of Donald Trump’s most visible supporters.
The list, which mentions that Nvidia’s market dominance has pushed its shares to record levels, making the company one of the most valuable companies in the world with a market value exceeding $3 trillion, points to Huang’s influence in this valuation.
The list, which notes that Nadella has successfully led Microsoft through two major transformations in 10 years, namely cloud and artificial intelligence, states that the foresighted early investment in OpenAI has helped Microsoft to settle into the top echelons of the technology sector in terms of market value.
It was reported that Ulukaya immigrated to the US from Turkey in 1994 and bought a yogurt factory in upstate New York with a loan in 2005.
The list noted that Ulukaya is one of the most influential philanthropists in the business world and emphasized that his company is a pioneer in hiring refugees.
