Vivek Kundra: Still the Alpha CTO and now the First Fed CIO

Today’s news on Vivek Kundra’s role in the federal space made me think of another CTO, Yuvi Kochar.  Yuvi, the CTO of the Washington Post, is a great connector of CTOs who leads the informal collective of the Washington Area CTO Roundtable.  Although I had heard Vivek speak a time or two, the first really deep interactions I had with Vivek were through Yuvi’s work in service to the tech community and I much appreciate that. For a quick update on Vivek from a CTO perspective see: Vivek Kundra: The Alpha CTO – My interview of Vivek Federal Government Technology Directions and the Fed CTO – A pointer to tech work of the transition team. A Great CTO and Pot Shots from the Peanut Gallery – An appropriate correction to an off base Washington Post article. Vivek Kundra: Democratizing Data and Putting it in the Public Domain – Some comments on Apps for Democracy. The Technology Implications of the Obama Win – Megatrends, including some driven by Vivek. So, congrats Vivek.  Your country wishes you well and we all appreciate your service.  We look forward to a more widespread use of your models and methods and look forward to more delivery of services to our citizens….
