32. Catherine Mohr, Roboticist and doctor selected Marilyn Waring, Human-rights activist

Marilyn Waring is a tremendously clear thinker about the disastrous consequences of using measures such as GDP as a surrogate for "progress" or "wellbeing" in a country.

34. Paul Smith, Designer selected Jonathan Ive, Senior vice-president, industrial design, Apple Inc

“I see Jonathan a few times every year, but unfortunately he mostly pops in during one of his London visits and we never really have enough time for a leisurely lunch due to both of our schedules being very hectic. I would choose him because I enjoy the way he thinks about things and the observations that he makes,” said Paul.

35. JR, Artist and photographer selected  Marco Berrebi, Photographer

Berrebi is a visionary as he always clearly separates the financial interest and the artistic vision of any project. An idea for him is like an equation, either it works or it doesn't; but there is no compromise. The beauty of his work is to get to this equation, which is a long road but for him, this is the art.
