Amy Hood

Company: Microsoft Revenue: US $ 281.7bn Founded: 1975

Amy Hood is the closest thing big technology has to an institution. Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft since 2013 and the first woman in the role, she has helped steer the LinkedIn, GitHub and Activision Blizzard deals and seen revenue more than triple during her tenure.

Microsoft, she signals, will grow its workforce again, but with more leverage squeezed from AI.
