The most influential Android. Developers who are real geniuses, CEOs who have very clear where to direct your business and ultimately personalities who have managed to turn the Android operating system is today. A list a few years ago would have been different, maybe not in the candidate but in the role that occupy each of them and in a few years may change more. A list is not exhaustive, since in Android sends anyone who wants to use it and work, but it will allow us to get an idea of ??who they are the most powerful people in the market Android smartphones and tablets.
Not all elected and work belong to Google , although engineers Mountain View are those who have the key to the future of Android catching role. No more I leave you with our list of the most influential Android the current scene. is a long text, reading calmly and where we recommend you visit the various links to find out more about the personal history of each them. Well hope to hear a little more makers pull forward this great ship and receive a review of your comments about the actual value of each named.
Larry Page and Eric Schmidt
bosses of Google. Larry Page, co-founder CEO finder and Eric Schmidt, CEO . Resumes and enviable position to understand Android as part of a larger master plan. Page, if your health permits, continue to put the finishing touch to many of the conferences held by Google, showing that once had the confidence and security necessary decided to return to the post of CEO. A place that had previously occupied Eric Schmidt. The Talented Page contrasts with the great experience having Eric, that whenever you can take a cable Android with the most controversial statements like going over iOS to Android.
If anyone has the final word on the future of Android in the plans of Google , these are both Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. Shopping like Motorola launched KitKat, the more akin to the work of an absent Sergey Brin, or the rise of men (also women) on Google as those below will name, outlet mall are totally dependent Glass intuition of the two leaders of Google.
Dennis Woodside and Punit Soni
New times for Motorola. Dennis Woodside as CEO of Motorola and Punit Soni former employee of Google as the new product manager. The work being done is impressive. Woodside, who has given several interviews lately, has made clear that work independently Google, receiving the Android code while other manufacturers. Basically their tasks are based on trying to convert a company that was always very industrial in a more focused consumer.
If anyoneyes who to the last joys with range Moto is the Indian electrical engineer Punit Soni , Gopinath Palaniappan responsible with upgrades and the performance of both the Moto X as the Moto G. An impeccable work that has made many begin to look at other manufacturers with suspicion. In his hands are starting to consider that many of the less powerful Android ranges as a real alternative.
JK Shin, Jeff Bezos and Kazuo Hirai
leaders, influential, decisive, need not necessarily be allies of Google. JK Shin, head of Samsung Mobile was promoted to co-CEO of the company in part to represent the importance of the sector in the interests of the Korean company. Shin has been directly responsible for the launch of the S4, the Gear and WIN your next objective focuses on the range of smartphones with LTE connectivity entry. Samsung has a huge market share, leading to a greater reluctance to abandon Android for Tizen, an operating system that would have more control but at the cost of the current stability.
Kazuo Hirai, CEO of Sony new is one of the most influential executives. It aims to convert the Sony experience into something much more unified, cloud and works mainly on Android devices. His strategy to peel back passes cost cutting and innovation . Jong-seok Park, president of LG Mobile and a veteran with over 30 years of research behind it, is one of the key figures in recent years for Android. For his hand passed decision to work closely with Google to manufacture the Nexus , and despite repeated criticisms were the lack of stock of the Nexus 4. We’ll see how you decide to differentiate their new LG Park next year.
Asus Jonney Shihwith both Nexus 7 Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo, Michael Dell, the newly appointed president of Acer Jason Chen, Eric Xu Huawei and its policy of rotating CEOs or Peter Chou and chaotic evolution of HTC. They also have much to become leaders of Android manufacturers, but must put the batteries in as voracious as the mobile technology market.
Another character known for his eccentricities is Jeff Bezos, Amazon business in its own right and android at the moment we launched Kindle OS devices, are considered by many as the only successful fork of Android . Bezos has created an ecosystem able to remain independent of Google Play Store. This great work is partly Gregg Zehr and Lab126, real architects and builders of the Amazon Kindle.
Marissa Mayer of Yahoo or Tim Cook Apple are not directly Android partners, but their impact on the market of mobile phones is undeniable. We have appointed great leaders, whether allies or rivals . no longer Android software and therefore can create the experience is linked to the corresponding hardware supplier. These leaders of large companies have their hands in creating the way Android will come to us.
Brian and Steve MollenkopfKrzanich
Just a few weeks ago, Qualcomm announced that Steve Mollenkopf after nine years of service would replace as CEO Paul Jacobs and president of the largest Mobile chipmaker. Under the leadership of Paul, Qualcomm has emerged overall dominant, being present in all high-end smartphones that have sold this 2013. Now Jacobs will address the long-term innovation while Steve Mollenkopf take the role of leader of Qualcomm after years as COO.
Mollenkopf is a businessman with experience despite his 44 years and also a person of expertise , under his name has several patents of electrical engineering and transmission telecommunications. Qualcomm has a key role in providing energy to the Android future, and men like Jacobs, Mollenkopf and Jon Rubinstein, former CEO of Apple and former Palm and now manager of Qualcomm, have much work to do.And of course, if we focus on inevitable processor manufacturers Intel name. Paul Otellini retired a few years ago giving way to Brian Krzanich new Intel CEO and clearly in favor of betting on the company to redirect mobile devices. Android x86 has a very promising future , as though in smartphones and tablets has already been established, there is still much progress to be made in the field of wearables PCs or devices, two fields radically opposites in that Intel intends to put all your machinery.
Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon, John Legere T-Mobile, Dan Hesse of Sprint honchos are the three major operators in the U.S., some companies are responsible for the distribution of mobile and Android availability. Despite the rise of free smartphones also has much to say. We doubt that Gerard Kleisterlee, Vodafone or Telefonica Cesar Alierta have much weight in the sales figures of Android but it is worth naming to represent the importance of the end of the day are the operators in the market. Another great company that has an influence on the distribution of Android is Foxconn, under President Terry Cheng. Both chip manufacturers, assemblers or operators have a vital weight in marketing and optimizing Android over other operating systems.
Jamie Rosenberg
a preinstalled Android application that overrides all others. Eric Chu was over four years, one of those responsible for the Android Market, but once this has been becoming a much larger store decided that Jamie Rosenberg acquired the title role. Previously manage Digital Content Play Store will now control it completely . A store that is part of the core of Android and whose applications are the most valuable asset. Rosenberg was commissioned to introduce Google Music and we can get an idea of ??which are the lines of action, streaming, compatibility cloud, PC synchronization and basically a continuation of Google Play as the center of all our purchases.
HelpingRosenberg, we have Purnima Kochikar, ex-director of Forum Nokia and now responsible for the development of games and apps from the Play Store. Scott Dougall, as product manager responsible Play Books and Google Currents and Dick Dougherty development charge payments or Ficus Kirkpatrick Play Store developer are three other Google programmers to help develop the Play Store.
find the physical part from Silicon Valley to David Conway, product manager with several engineers who would emphasize Ellie Powers, Marcus Foster and especially to Gabe Cohen or Chris Yerga, engineering managers Android and authentic Android geek. As we see in Google give much importance to Play Store, the platform from which you want to monetize all access to Android. Could you survive as Android is now without the work of these people?
Mike Schroepfer and Christopher Fry
Android owes much to the Play Store, owes more to the creators of their most important applications. We will focus on Twitter and Facebook, two giants, two social networks that constantly struggling to keep us hooked on their services, two applications that are among the list of most downloaded and whose influence goes far beyond.
Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, but the economic reins leads Sheryl Sandberg, former directors of the search engine, driver of Google.org and one of the most important women in the technology sector. Facebook continues to attract talent to their offices, but all this creativity would be lost if not for Mike Schroepfer, master in computer science from Stanford University, lead developer of Mozilla Firefox and current CTO of Facebook. A successful entrepreneur, as young as the company he works for Android and whose commitment is total, even though Facebook Home is not having a good reception. Facebook has enough users to revolutionize Android if he tries, and Mike, perhaps in relation to mobile with Erick Tseng, is who has the power of decision in this area.
A similar case happens in Twitter. Chris and Jack Dorsey Discolo be influential and famous everything they want, but who holds the reins of power is who oversees the application code. Christopher Fry, vice president of engineering Twitter has a weight in the company equivalent to his salary, about ten million per year, very close to eleven Discolo charge as CEO. The Twitter application for Android has been redesigned several times, still roam looking for how they can get a better return from them but this is a must app.
Twitter and Facebook are two of the few applications for Android that can introduce improvements as intrusive enough to outshine the alternatives of Google itself, and hence its influence and inclusion in this list.
Hugo Barra, Lei Jun and Jack Wong
If this is an unstoppable trend rising Asian manufacturers. Xiaomi, and Oppo Meizu are the three major manufacturers of new China. And they are determined to follow in the footsteps of his compatriots ZTE and Huawei.
The leaders of these companies have a very striking personality, which strikes us most by the difference in cultures but not the figure itself. Jack Wong, CEO of Meizu, is a tireless worker able to attend the call at a forum for anyone who needs help. A community relations radically different stratified layers you have in the West.
Oppo is taking an interesting direction of hand Cyanogen, Pete Lau and her affair with OnePlus can be very interesting, Jack Ma of Alibaba is one of the most influential figures in China, but there is a Chinese company whose role is absolute. Xiaomi is listed as the perfect blend of refined Apple control and freedom and communion with Google users . A company that has made many users in Europe and USA import their phones. Lei Jun, CEO and absolute leader Xiaomi has a messianic air not seen in a while. Such is his influence that persuaded Hugo Barra to be his vice president.
The interesting thing is that Hugo Barra is the most important event of established Western leader who decides to go to the other side to lead the expansion of a market of enormous magnitude. He was the most important Android, director, responsible for the presentation of almost all Nexus products and basically one of the most recognizable faces of the scene man. His departure sparked a movement of pieces on Google unprecedented.
China is here to change the rules of the game. Directors speak directly with the community, a quality smartphones / equivalent to the Nexus subsidized price. Android can not help but be influenced by such a massive number of users with as specific traditions. The former leader of Android realized this trend;? Did well to leave? What future they want for Android
Andy Rubin
The original Android team was composed by Hiroshi Lockheimer, who then talk, Keva Nelson, David Conway, Grace Kloba, Peisun Wu, Erick Tseng, German Bauer and Andy Rubin, robotic engineer, founder of Android , one of the few chief engineers reporting directly to Larry Page, creator and supervisor of the first smartphones with our operating system and basically the mastermind behind Android.
few years ago it would have been sacrilege not to give greater weight on this list, but we were glad that deeply now devotes his time to his passion, robots, and has stopped dividing Android side. The first workers focused on Google Android, as Rubin or Silverstein now have other projects in mind. It is normal for a team happened about 1800 initial 44000 , will leave some on the way. A lesser evil inevitably reflects the maturity of Android. We wish Andy Rubin all the luck in his new career in Google and appreciate the important role played in Android over the years, some His was also the decision to buy Motorola. A new phase opens in Google with its foray into robotics, there is no doubt that if Andy Rubin who runs that section have guaranteed success.
Steve Kondik and Koushik Dutta
A job well done at the end always has its reward. And guys Cyanogen I should know. They started developing custom ROMs for early versions of Android and are now launching their first devices with the help of a large Chinese company like Oppo.
Cyanogenmaintained through the work of countless developers. Some decided to leave when constituted as a company, but the two that have been there from the beginning are Steve Kondik and Koushik Dutta, creator ClockWorkMod Recovery and ROM Manager , two capitals in the scene root apps. His decision to create their own forks of Android has given and will be talking about. Google wants all Android are identical to the ideal model, and Cyanogen are not ready to be written off. Of their work and results depend on whether others dare to continue this alternative.
developer community goes far beyond Cyanogen. If we focus on famous developers ROMs have to Arvind Raman, of SlimROMs, Paul Henschel and Tina Krebina the Paranoid Android Team Paul O’Brien of MoDaCo or. All with their own vision of what should be Android and working daily in offering ROMs could rival the stock.
developer Android has thousands of things on my mind, data, tables, links, programs … fortunately over the years everything has been set correctly and have websites and books available as created by Mark Murphy or Reto Meier . We can begin programming in Android if we want to, and although at first not logically much, in the end many people will download our work and thank you.
Vint Cerf, Astro Teller and Yishan Wong
No wonder
should we include the best thinkers here today. Call them influencers, philosophers, teachers, etc … the truth is that Google has managed to attract real talent to its ranks. It is no coincidence that the future of Android experience you somewhat risky innovations with characters like them.
The post Chief Internet Evangelist belongs to Vint Cerf, father of the Internet and Google whose job is to lead and advise on data infrastructure, architectures and systems. His word is taken into great consideration, and it comes for example attempts to use Android as the basis for interplanetary communications. Do not forget to Ray Kurzweil, renowned transhumanist and Google engineering director. We know that if Google would work hard for him to manufacture modern Skynet.Finally, even within Google, remember to Sebastian Thrun, professor at the University of Stanford, Udacity CEO and Astro Teller, former professor of artificial intelligence at Stanford two heads of Google X , the department that makes the old diapers Yours are Google Labs Google car attempts, the Glass or the new robotics are doing with Rubin. Other famous evangelists are Steve Wozniak and Guy Kawasaki, former champions of the apple products and now real fandroids like us.
In general the actions of engineers working on Android are conditioned by those whose opinion is held in high esteem. . The press, users … we are at the end which generate public opinion and mark the lines to follow Three people more say here, Yishan Wong, CEO of the community most influential network, Jean Baptiste Queru, former leader of AOSP and now working for Yahoo and the ever critic Richard Stallman famously, his defense Replicant as genuine free alternative.
Vic Gundotra, Brian Rakowski and Johanna Wright
Google services play a key role in Android. So much so that is feared to be at the expense of the open source part of the system. These native applications include the ubiquitous search engine G+, but also maps, hangouts, location services, google now … created a whole ecosystem around to bring you the best information at the right time. These applications are controlled by the workers of Google, a company in which the maximum is required, but the real cracks that arise.
Vic Gundotra, vice president of social branch of Google, responsible for the death of GReader and main supporter of Google+ , has seen its importance increases proportionally to the amount of services that integrate G+. I recently have been comments on the Youtube Play Store and KitKat or contacts. Step by small step Google wants to link each of our Android our profile there. Because maybe the amount of users using G+ is not great, but if they get that every person with gmail or Android use so network constant, the amount of information they have access increase significantly, with a corresponding improvement in influence and advertising that they show us. Accompanying Gundotra have to Bradley Horowitz, Yahoo former worker and responsible buying from Flickr and Google leading in 2008 as product manager Gmail, Google Docs, Calendar, Google Talk, Google Voice, Picasa , Orkut, Blogger and G+ course, the culmination of their major projects.
Other great leaders within Google are, John Hanke, VP everything “geo” Maps, Google Earth, Ingress … etc.. Through Niantic entered into Google Labs and is now in charge of the most best augmented reality services finder. And Brian Rakowski, Product Manager and VP Chrome , the browser par excellence and become own operating system. The rise of Chrome in Android will increase considerably when they appear next to my desk the first year, and that Brian has many decisions to make. Salar Kamangar and his natural successor, Shishir Mehrotra are both managers Youtube , a mobile application with a huge number of visits and the design is always ahead of Android.
we can finally forget that the Mountain View company started as a search engine and die as such. The ways to find information have changed dramatically in recent years, but still collecting information, organizing and finding ways to show it to us in the best way. Here we assess the work of Johanna Wright , assistance vice president and director of Google Now . Johanna is another one of the rising stars of Google, now collaborating with other engineers as Amit Sighnal or Jon Wiley. Your job is to make it easier for Alan Eustace, VP Search Google and end of the search manager in all its forms. Johanna has received several offers from major technology companies, including include those by Marissa Mayer of Yahoo, who knows about the work of Johanna and which would have offered a higher position than the one now in Google.
Google has many projects underway, and it is clear that leverage Android potential to expand and intensify their use. Will there come a time where AOSP just do not know where they start and the Google Play Services? Will be created forks of Android whenever a manufacturer wants to go on your own? In a list of the most influential people on Android is inevitable appoint directors of the various departments of Google.
Dave Burke
Controls the engineering of Android, Google consider many in English Dave Burke as the heart and soul of Android . A few years ago with the launch of Jelly Bean Butter Project offered an improvement to offer faster animations. A sample of the ability Burke to find practical solutions to basic problems.
Burke is not well known outside of your apartment, it is unclear what role you currently have. It is a walking programmer with an innate ability to connect with people from lower positions. If Google wanted to promote one of the leading Android’d bet that was Dave Burke who got the job. Formerly was also responsible for integrating voice commands on Android, a technology that is quite successful today.
There are many more workersstyle Burke, Jason Sams and Michael Morrissey but none has that combination of genius and Dave Burke combines technicality and makes him one of the androids that can give more talking.
John Lagerling
Global Director Partnerships Android. The executive who makes the calls to other companies to communicate the intentions you have Google. Before entering the search, John Lagerling was the COO of AdMob in Korea and Japan, which explains his fluent Japanese, and after acquiring the company continued doing the same work.
Lagerling is not an engineer like most of those named, is an economist and hence its role in Google, key calls like Motorola or Nestle. From the first conversation reminds us that Google did not buy Motorola for hardware, but for the patent. He also tells the story as it was with Nestlé as a fruitful rather than trade agreement all it was a fun guild to use the name KitKat in the 4.4 version of Android.
Other Google employees with performance similar to John Solaro are Nick, director of business development and Android leading automotive initiatives with Patrick Brady, director of engineering third and head of product development that takes place between external companies like Asus or LG and Google. If there is someone in charge of moving threads to back any move involving other companies, is John Lagerling and his team who will stand up for Android.
Chris DiBona
Android Developers. During the Google I / O we have come to know many of them.
