President Obama Appoints First Chief Technology Officer

Submitted by Shawn on Saturday, 18 April 2009

President Obama has appointed Aneesh Paul Chopra as Chief Technology Officer.  Currently Chopra is serving as Virginia’s Secretary of Technology.

The White House explains the CTO will develop national strategies for using advanced technologies to transform our economy and our society, such as fostering private sector innovation, reducing administrative costs and medical errors using health IT, and using technology to change the way teachers teach and students learn.

It will be interesting to see what Chopra will be able to accomplish.
