I have serious reservations about her appointment. Reasons being
Tania doesn't have technical qualification to make her suitable candidate for the role. She is just an MBA.
Her role at Google was just marketing side of things. Which means that she will have to rely on input form technical people to run this project. Those technical people will not be Google Engineers this time and how she manages Govt Bureaucracy will be a challenge. I don't expect people with old habits will like her bossing them around.
I don't know the details of this initiative but it should be run with involvement of private sector. The focus should be to empower local companies to drive the initiative which I feel will be the case.
I wish her well but feel that we are having another Asad Umar who is good at talking but failed to deliver. Having said that I will be extremely happy if I'm proved wrong.
FYI this is from someone who previously worked at Google, involved in delivering 5G solution for Tokyo Olympics and currently involved in rolling out 5G Services in Australia. Irony is someone lectured me to speak to Ericsson regarding 5G in one of the previous threads which made my day
