The White House has Sachs and Krishnan and the CCP is full of engineers. In contrast, the EU Commission:

- Commissioner for Digital and Frontier: Henna Virkkunen (JOURNALIST, experience PR) [1]

- Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy: Stéphane Séjourné (LAWYER, politics, but hey, his mom was a telephone switch operator!) [2]
