THR's 2012 Digital Power 50

When Tim Cook took over for the ailing Steve Jobs last summer, one of his first moves was to promote Cue, a 23-year Apple veteran. As the company's connection to Hollywood, Cue, 47, oversees Internet services and content initiatives, including iTunes, the App Store, iAds and iCloud. The iTunes division is big business -- about $6 billion in annual sales -- but Cue's role goes well beyond that. His Hollywood deals and media stores add sex appeal and utility to Apple products and have the potential to help the company expand into new markets. Apple televisions could revolutionize the TV industry as radically as the iPhone changed cellphone capability.
