DC CTO Vivek Kundra Named To Top Federal IT Job
DCTechCzar writes "The Obama administration plans to announce it has appointed Vivek Kundra, the District of Columbia's chief technology officer, to take the top information technology post in the federal government, according to a source. Kundra, who has deployed advanced applications to improve the performance of public services during his nearly two years as CTO for the District, will replace Karen Evans as administrator for e-government and information technology in the Office of Management and Budget. The position effectively serves as the federal government's chief information officer. The administration could announce Kundra's appointment as soon as Thursday."
Yup, he's like all CTO's...
Takes credit for what his people did.
"He deployed" my ass he deployed. He did not do shit other than approve the research and work his people did.
He sat on his ass and took the credit, I did not see him pulling any cable, setting up the servers and working on the application deployment.
Posting Anon to keep from getting fired. A DC IT worker.
In a previous Slashdot posting, some DC residents commented that he was the real deal. He knows his stuff, and gets things done.
