Have the chops

Hello,

can you please tell me what "didn't have the chops" means?

"I think the problem was that she didn't have the chops for the brave new world of social media and mobile platforms dominated by the likes of Facebook, Apple, and good old Google. She just didn't get it. "

Thank you

HotmaleDoes it mean the she had no talent with social media?
No. She had no management skills required to lead a high-tech company that was in trouble. Read the previous sentence in context:

she has absolutely no enterprise, IT, hardware, software, complex supply chain, or turnaround experience.
