Featuring such figures as Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure and Think Big Partners Managing Director Herb Sih, the list “identifies leaders who have made a significant impact on the technology and innovation ecosystem in which they operate.”

The criteria to be nominated for the list included: originality; prominence; growth; gumption; and pertinence. Other notable names on the list included Cerner CEO Neal Patterson, Garmin CEO Clifton Pemble, Techstars managing director John Fein, ShotTracker CEO Bruce Ianni and many others.
