Israel may be known for its high-tech prowess, but the Jewish influence in business, economics and technology extends well beyond its borders.

Whether leading the US Federal Reserve's extraordinary monetary policy, creating the technology that will enable driverless cars to hit the road in the coming years, or finding ways to secure the Internet in the age of cybercrime and online warfare, Jews are making their mark in a big way.
