(2009-01-16) Us Cto Candidates

The 2 short-list candidates for CTO of the US are Padmasree Warrior of Cisco, and Vivek Kundra of Washington DC.

Mar05 update: Vivek Kundra got it.

• Oops, he actually got the CIO role, and a separate CTO will still be filled: the CTO will work closely with Kundra, who will handle more of the IT operations while the CTO focuses on technology strategy and policy.

Apr18 update: Obama will nominate Aneesh Chopra, who has been Secretary For Technology for the State of Virgin Ia.
