THE SHORT LIST

Local Tech Czar Could Be Headed To WH

By GAUTHAM NAGESH, Government Executive

In his year and a half in office, District of Columbia technology chief Vivek Kundra has developed a reputation as an innovative, open-minded leader who uses technology to increase the transparency and accountability of government. So it's hardly surprising that Kundra is being considered for a post in the Obama administration, which has promised to use technology to create a more open government.

Democratic insiders have told NextGov that the D.C. official is on the short list of South Asian-Americans being considered for roles within the new administration. The details remain uncertain, but one possible fit for Kundra would be the new federal chief technology officer position that President-elect Barack Obama proposed during his campaign.

Complete story available on NextGov.
