Janet is an excellent choice. It’s just a shame that Bridenstine couldn’t get the deputy administrator he wanted.
I’m honored to welcome Janet Karika as my Chief of Staff. Her 38 years of space experience will serve the agency well. I’d like to thank Tom Cremins for doing an outstanding job as my Acting Chief of Staff. It’s an exciting time at NASA, and I’m very thankful for our team. pic.twitter.com/79pflMbYcy

Wasn’t it the deputy administrator that people were complaining about last time? Looks like Karika possess the technical background that people were looking for in the deputy administrator.
To normal people, all of these positions appear staffed by competent and qualified people. Hopefully, their performance exceeds their resume.
