Susan Mweheire Kitariko has over 14 years experience in the telecom sector in Uganda. She became interested in ICT when she joined Uganda Telecom Ltd (UTL) at the time of its privatisation, when the mobile section Mango was being launched and integrated into the old fixed line infrastructure of UTL.

She recently joined Google Uganda as the country manager and is at the forefront of pushing for an industry-wide shift to infrastructure sharing, whose objective is to facilitate Internet penetration in Uganda through the Google Project Link.
