Apple's Ive among Britain's most influential expatriates

Britain's Sunday Times has named Apple design god Jonathan Ive among that country's most influential expatriates in America. The paper ranked Ive number 3 in its list of 25 top British executives living in the U.S., on the grounds that he has "shaken up two industries—music and electronics."

Ive is the man responsible for the design of many Apple products, including the iPod. He was born in London and educated in art and design in England. Ive, now 38, came to the US in 1992 and joined Apple's design team, where he spun his elegant magic on the iMac, the iBook, the PowerBook, the Cinema Display, and the iPod. The Sunday Times noted that he may not be the most senior member on its list nor the richest, but he is certainly one of the most influential.
