In Nepal where I grew up that would have meant Chief District Officer, one mean post back in the days of absolute monarchy. You did n-o-t want to ever get noticed by the CDO. Worst case scenario you might simply have disappeared. Some of the most politically vocal people did. They simply disappeared.
But maybe Rachel Sterne is not mean. And she is not even a District Officer. She is New York City's first ever Chief Digital Officer. Expect the greatest city in the world to get some digital pizazz.
