The Information’s 50 Most Influential People in Tech

This week, we’re launching a list spotlighting the 50 people who will wield the most sway, clout and control in the industry over the next decade—an exercise in pulling back the curtain on where power really resides. This list is something that only The Information could assemble, pulling from our current reporting and our reporters’ deep experience covering past eras of Silicon Valley: No one else tracks the tech industry as closely as we do. That perspective means this list will offer a definitive snapshot of who matters and why they matter—the people who are actually shaping AI, changing the course of tech investing and steering the conversation among tech insiders. You may recognize some of the names, but in many other instances, the list will shed light on the rising stars and quieter power players—as only The Information can do. Join us for a live conversation the day the list publishes, where we’ll go behind the scenes on how it came together: who made the cut, who didn’t, and what the rankings reveal about where power in tech is really headed.
