In order to head the digitization campaign, Tania Aidrus has resigned from her previous position as Director, Product, Payments for Next Billion Users at Google. Under this project, all the Government department will correspond to each other through digital channels instead of papers.
During her speech at the inauguration of the ‘Digital Pakistan’ initiative, She said:
“A person I knew told the prime minister about me and he forwarded an email to his reform team to contact me, over the next course of months, I was in contact with Mr Jahangir Tareen and members of the federal cabinet. I even met the president before I met Prime Minister Imran and discussed the project.
She further added:
“I spent 20 years outside Pakistan, I went abroad with a very strong message about Pakistan. People say that I am politically connected to some people. That is not the case, I don’t have a relationship with anyone in the government. My objective is simple — I just want Pakistan to succeed. Just like you need the road infrastructure in a country, Pakistan needs a digital infrastructure. To advance in the tech world, we need to have a digital infrastructure in place.”
