The next U.S. president needs a fundamental understanding of technology and a vision to use it, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said Tuesday.
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO said the next inhabitant of the White House also needs to know when to take a hands-off approach.
“It’s important to have someone in the White House who has a fundamental understanding of technology, a fundamental vision for how technology can be used,” she said at Tech Crunch Disrupt in New York.
“One of the things I think government shouldn’t be doing is trying to regulate in some bureaucracy how innovation progresses in the technology industry,” she added.
Fiorina announced her bid for the White House on Monday with low poll numbers in what appears will be a crowded Republican field. She previously ran for the U.S. Senate in California but has never held elected office.
The next president can hire someone for that.
Knowledge of world politics and economice would be great. Ability to work with rivale wouls help.
