Time created six different covers for its 2018 Time 100 Most Influential people in the World issue featuring (clockwise from top left): Jennifer Lopez, Satya Nadella, Tarana Burke, Tiffany Haddish, Nicole Kidman and Roger Federer.

Two Seattle-area tech titans made TIME's 2018 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos made the "titans" list.

“From the outset, the key to Jeff Bezos’ success has been his intense and unwavering focus on customer satisfaction and on his audience: the end user.” Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase wrote.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made TIME's "leaders" list.

Nadella grew up in India and fell in love with cricket, a sport whose team works in harmony.

“Since becoming CEO of Microsoft in 2014, Nadella has used those principles to restore the company’s spirit of innovation,” Walter Isaacson, former managing editor of TIME wrote.
