It was a privilege to celebrate Microsoft's partnership with the Higher Education Commission in Pakistan and to launch the 2019 Imagine Cup with Abid Zaidi and HEC Chairman Tariq Banuri. Good luck to all the teams! #ImagineCup lnkd.in/d8xc7uz

Clear warning of a crisis whose solution will require accelerated public sector reforms and private sector investments. Question is whether governments in the region can drive the necessary transformation. ft.com/content/3daf3d…

Government digital transformation is hard, but the challenges in developed markets make clear it is not too late for governments in MEA to embark on the journey. Key is political leadership to drive the transformation. government.diginomica.com/2018/07/03/aus…

Lots of lessons from the corruption scandal in South Africa. Good piece by the NYT on how McKinsey lost its way. nyti.ms/2N0MKZC

I spend a lot of time talking with customers about the benefits of cloud computing, including better security. Feels like it should be an easier conversation when an unlocked storage closet is the status quo. #cloudcomputing lnkd.in/djAtBSB lnkd.in/d8BWeva

Innovative tech from @afrikred that uses solar and cloud services to connect the unconnected, provide citizen services, charge phones, and create jobs. Thanks @HenriNyakarundi for the vision (and the demo)! #cloudforgood

The UK's been a model for digitally transforming government and good to see Francis Maude continuing to push the envelope. #digitaltransformation government.diginomica.com/2018/05/29/fra…

GDPR will impact companies in Europe and those outside of Europe as it is likely to become a global baseline for privacy and putting consumers in control of their data. Good to see Microsoft investing in compliance - for ourselves and our customers. #GDPRcompliance

Had a chance to see how the City of Johannesburg and @BrightWave_ZA partnered to bring internet to Soweto, where only 3% of households were connected. Thanks Victor and John for your time!

The amount of kerosene, plastic bottles and batteries saved each year when a consumer switches from kerosene lamps to the 4-light home solar system from @MKopaSolar. Also less pollution. #cleanenergy.
