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

vivek_kundraToday’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:

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.
