Aneesh Chopra the US Federal Government CTO
20 de Abril de 2009, 0:00The appointment of Aneesh Chopra as the U.S. federal government’s first Chief Technology Officer (CTO), together with the earlier appointment of Vivek Kundra as the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO), is a signal of the importance of information technology to the Obama Administration. We expect Chopra to play a vital role in achieving the policy goals set out in the Administration’s IT platform. He comes on board having already been tasked under the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government with coordinating the development of recommendations to executive departments and agencies to take specific actions implementing the principles of transparent, participatory, and collaborative government. His experience as Virginia’s Secretary of Technology, where he partnered with industry on several important initiatives, will be useful in addressing the challenges of open government data, where the ODF Alliance has made specific recommendations.

Vivek Kundra the New U.S. Government CIO
6 de Março de 2009, 0:00President Obama promises to be the most technologically attuned president ever. His appointment today of Vivek Kundra as the new Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO) further underscores that impression. Having articulated a sophisticated technology-based agenda, the President will need someone who can help translate this vision into reality. Kundra’s experience as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the District of Columbia, where he built a strong reputation as an IT innovator and visionary, makes him very well suited for the open-government objectives contained in President Obama’s technology platform.
