Apple’s CEO is described as being visionary, iconoclastic, and fearless. Jobs is also up for Time’s Person of the Year and was named “CEO of the Decade” by Fortune in November.

With 220 million iPods sold worldwide, Apple’s music player was named “Product of the Decade” and is compared to the Walkman in terms of cultural impact.
