Obama appoints Aneesh Chopra for CTO
Obama appoints Aneesh Chopra for CTO

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 2010 -- 4/22/2009 >>>>>
In case you haven't heard, Obama appointed Aneesh Chopra to be the nation's
Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Now we have two Indian-Americans in two
positions that will make decisions about which government jobs are outsourced
to India, and which ones are displaced by H-1Bs. The other one of course is
Chief Information Officer (CIO) Vivek Kundra, who has been mentioned several
times in this newsletter. If Kundra's name doesn't ring a bell go here to read
about him:

Obama's "Kunundrum", By Rob Sanchez
I'm not sure why President Obama is bent on appointing Indians to key
technology positions so much. In politics it's always a good idea to follow
the money trail, and doing so might help to explain that Obama's prejudicial
hiring practices might have a lot to do with the enormous amounts of cash and
political influence that India is wielding in Washington DC. Or, perhaps Obama
just feels that non-Indians don't have the right genomes to handle
technological issues. It's an attitude that many policy makers seem to have
nowadays. If you can think of a better reason for Obama's most recent
appointment, then let me in on it.
The most likely alternative explanation for Obama's hiring behavior is that he
is cooperating with India's desire to plant their shills strategically in
places that will help them to take over our country's technological infra-
stucture. If that sounds like a far fetched conspiracy, keep reading while I
try to convince you that what is happening could turn into an international
conspiracy and scandal.
These are just a few of the reasons that everyone should be concerned that
Chopra and Kundra are now the nation's new CIO and CTO:
* These two positions aren't trivial. Chopra and Kundra will have the decision
making authority to throw billions of dollars wherever they want.
They will also have a major role in determining which technology jobs are
outsourced to India, and which Americans will lose their jobs to H-1Bs from
India. Of course that will also give them power to determine which U.S.
tech companies will survive. They will also make decisions about our education
system even though neither one of them have technical career backgrounds.
Folks, this ain't good!
* All of you know how tough it is to get jobs. Employers nowadays scrutinize
everything about your education, experience, who you worked for etc. You could
meet 9 out of 10 requirements and still they won't hire you because you didn't
have the newest version of a technical skill they claim they need.
So, how come Obama hired a CTO that has no technical experience at all?
Neither Chopra or Kundra are career technologists (although Kundra did get a
degree in IT, psychology, and political science). Chopra never received an
education in science, technology, engineering, or math. Chopra probably
doesn't know the difference between a transistor and a transformer, an Apple
and a PC, and he definitely has never written one line of computer code.
Chopra's claim to technical virtuosity is that he got a Masters in Public
Policy from Harvard University.
So, why did Obama shun the technical giants of Silicon Valley to hire these
unqualified cronies to lead our nation's technology? Could it be that most of
those that built Silicon Valley were non-Indian?
* Speaking of cronies, these two are very bad examples of political cronyism
in action. While Kundra served in Washington DC as the chief technology
officer (CTO), Chopra was Virginia s Secretary of Technology.
They were friends and business partners, and they both worked very hard to
make sure that lucrative government contracts were sent offshore to India.
There are other connections -- like for instance Aneesh Chopra is a Harvard
project partner with Vivek Wadhwa. I won't dwell on Wadhwa in this newsletter
since I have mentioned him dozens of times before, and because I have mixed
feelings about who's side he is on. Go to this web page to see one of the many
Wadhwa projects that Chopra was involved in. It's not hard to find them using
by Google.
http://www.soc.duke.edu/GlobalEngineering/project_coauthors.php
* TechAmerica hailed President Barack Obama for appointing Chopra. They call
it a "breakthrough for technology policy," In case you haven't heard of
TechAmerica -- they are a merger between some of the worst H-1B and offshoring
lobbyists in the history of the attack on American middle class technology
workers: AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association), and Harris
Miller's Information Technology Association of America (ITAA).
It's safe to assume that anybody they endorse is a champion of H-1B and
offshoring.
* Mr. Aneesh Chopra is hailed as a leader of the Indian American community and
an active member of the USINPAC Leadership Committee. USINPAC is the obvious
connection all of these guys have to the big money bags in India.
If international conspiracy is involved, USINPAC is the U.S. command center,
while NASSCOM and CII in India are puppet masters. Chopra and Kundra are their
prized plants.
* Aneesh Chopra may not call himself a lobbyist for Indian offshoring, but
that's what he is. Read this, but don't be surprised:
Not surprisingly, he is an avid supporter of opportunities for
globalization and was well received when he led a Virginia
trade delegation to India in 2006.
*** If none of those reasons sway you, consider this: chances are Chopra is
involved in the fraud and bid rigging scheme being investigated by the FBI.
It's just a matter of time before Kundra is connected with the two accused
criminals Sushil Bansal and Yusuf Acar, and next in line would be Chopra.
Inviting Chopra to the administration just gives the FBI another big target to
investigate. If the FBI fingers either Kundra or Chopra, and it may be just a
matter of time before that happens, Obama is going to have a scandal of epic
proportions on his hands. Obama is taking a considerable political risk by
allowing these two to be associated with his administration. The question is
why?

Obama Picks Technology And Performance Officers
By Michael D. Shear and Anita Kumar
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, April 19, 2009
President Obama has named Virginia Technology Secretary Aneesh P. Chopra to be
the nation's first chief technology officer.
The president announced the choice yesterday in his weekly radio and Internet
address, adding Chopra to a small group of advisers whose aim it is to enhance
and modernize the delivery of government services.
"Aneesh will promote technological innovation to help achieve our most urgent
priorities -- from creating jobs and reducing health-care costs to keeping our
nation secure," Obama said in the address.
The president also named Jeffrey Zients, a chief executive and former
management consultant, to be his chief performance officer. The position was
initially offered to Nancy Killefer, who withdrew after questions were raised
about her payment of taxes.
Chopra, appointed by Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) in 2006, had been
under consideration for months for a job in the Obama administration,
including technology chief at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Chopra had put in long hours in Washington helping Obama's transition team get
him ready for his first day as president on Jan. 20. He was one of about 50
volunteers from across the nation serving on the transition team's policy
group on technology, innovation and government reform.
Chopra did not return messages for comment. He is a former managing director
with the Advisory Board Company, a for-profit health-care think tank serving
nearly 2,500 hospitals and health systems.
Earlier this decade, Zients played a key role in luring Major League Baseball
back to Washington. In a 2004 Washington Post profile, colleagues said that as
a boss he could be direct when unhappy but never disparaging.
Zients is the founder and managing partner of Portfolio Logic, an investment
firm focused primarily on business and health-care service companies.
Chopra and Zients will work with Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra,
formerly chief technology officer for the District, to make government work
more efficiently. When Kundra's job was announced, the chief technology
officer job was mentioned, but no exact job description was given. But sources
said the chief technology officer may focus more on overall technology policy
while the chief information officer handles day-to-day spending and operations
within agency projects.
"The goal is to give all Americans a voice in their government and ensure that
they know exactly how we're spending their money -- and can hold us
accountable for the results," Obama said.
The president also announced that he will ask all of his Cabinet members to
provide specific proposals for how they plan to cut their budgets in an
attempt to trim the cost of government.
Obama is under pressure to reduce government waste as he leads an
unprecedented increase in overall federal spending in a bid to spark an
economic recovery.
In his address, he reiterated his pledge to examine the federal budget "line
by line" to find instances of waste. He said that he will soon eliminate
programs that are deemed unnecessary.
"In this effort, there will be no sacred cows, and no pet projects. All across
America, families are making hard choices, and it's time their government did
the same," he said.

Obama Spurns Silicon Valley Vets, Names Virginia s Secretary of Technology As
CTO
99 Commentsby Jason Kincaid on April 17, 2009
President Obama will be naming Aneesh Paul Chopra as his choice for CTO during
tomorrow s weekly address, as first reported by the Washington Post and
confirmed in this press release posted to the White House s official web site.
Chopra currently serves as Virginia s Secretary of Technology, and has
previous acted as the Managing Director for the Advisory Board Company, where
he advised executives on health care operations.
According to Virginia s state website, Chopra was recently recognized by
Government Technology Magazine s for excellent use of technology to improve
government , and he was awarded Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society s 2007 State Leadership Advocacy Award.
The choice comes after months of speculation, during which many of Silicon
Valley s most prominent figures, including Steve Ballmer, Jeff Bezos, Bill
Gates, and Eric Schmidt (among many others) were named as possible candidates.
Whether or not some of these people actually wanted the position is another
story, but obviously President Obama chose a different route.
According to this article published in the Washington Post in 2005, Chopra was
not a career technologist before he became Virginia s Secretary of Technology,
but he has extensive experience in policy making. He also co-created a venture
fund called Avatar Capital, which invested $11 million in 18 companies (though
these figures are likely dated).
While he may not be a lifelong coder, Chopra has previously stated that his
"primary understanding is from customer need, not bits and bytes". During his
time as Virginia s SoT, he drove the state s partnership with Google to become
sitemap compliant, and also partnered with Cox and Comcast to broadcast free
GED classes to Virginian citizens.
According to President Obama s upcoming remarks, Chopra will "help achieve our
most urgent priorities from creating jobs and reducing health care costs to
keeping our nation secure. He will work closely with Chief Performance Officer
Jeffrey Zients (also being named tomorrow) and recently-named CIO Vivek
Kundra.

Chopra is a Great Choice for Federal CTO.

Tech Industry Hails Choice for CTO
Washington, DC (April 18, 2009) - Calling the move a "breakthrough for
technology policy," TechAmerica hailed President Barack Obama for tapping
Aneesh Chopra to serve as the nation's first Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
TechAmerica President Phil Bond said: "The Administration started with a
strong job description for fostering innovation in this country and then went
out and got the right person for the job. This President will be able to view
a whole range of important decisions through a paradigm of innovation. The
position and the priorities are the right ones: A direct report to the
President focused on policies that help create new markets, more jobs and
better government through technology and innovation.
"As Secretary of Technology for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Aneesh is well
known to the nation's technology community. He has championed policies that
enable better government and a stronger economy through use of technology.
Notably, his role in Virginia placed him in leadership in the state with the
highest concentration of tech workers, and a state that added tech jobs for
four consecutive years as of 2007," Bond continued, citing TechAmerica's
Cyberstates 2009 report, which provides 2008 national tech trends on
employment as well as the latest data on state employment, wages,
establishments, payroll, and research and development.
"Aneesh is singularly gifted in communicating the power and potential of
technology to improve government, national security and our economy. His
energy is boundless. It is a superb choice."
AeA and ITAA merged on January 1, 2009, to create TechAmerica.

Aneesh Paul Chopra, Secretary of Technology
Aneesh Chopra is currently Virginia s Fourth Secretary of Technology serving
Governor Tim Kaine. In this capacity, he leads the Commonwealth s strategy to
effectively leverage technology in government reform, promotes Virginia s
innovation agenda, and fosters technology-related economic development with a
special emphasis on entrepreneurship.
For the Governor, Secretary Chopra chairs the Solutions Committee of the IT
Investment Board, the Effectiveness and Efficiency Committee of the Council on
Virginia s Future, and co-chairs the Healthcare IT Council with Health
Secretary Marilyn Tavenner.
Secretary Chopra was awarded the Healthcare Information and Management Systems

DotGov Spotlight: Aneesh P. Chopra, Secretary of Technology, Virginia
Aneesh Chopra, with his ready smile and gentle manner, is immediately
identifiable as a pleasant fellow. His face glows when he talks about his new
baby daughter. At a recent American Council for Technology conference in
Richmond, he agreeably delayed his keynote speech to accommodate another
speaker.
The glow of the spotlight, however, reveals a public servant with a very large
presence in Virginia and with apparent great potential to have an impact on
government nationwide.
Having not quite reached middle age, Aneesh Chopra has already accomplished
more than many of us in our careers. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University in
public health, with a Masters degree from the Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard, he has been a venture capitalist, managing director of a large
healthcare think tank, appointee of two governors to high-level committees,
and the elected head of groups of entrepreneurs.
In 2006, despite his lack of formal IT training, he was appointed as the
Commonwealth of Virginia's Secretary of Technology at age 33. He was expected
to "expand our internal use of technology to better serve our citizens" and
"effectively promote Virginia's business-friendly climate to technology
companies," Governor Tim Kaine said in announcing the appointment.
Chopra is the first person of Indian heritage to serve in the Virginia
Cabinet. Well-connected in the Washington-area Indian community, he has served
as co-president of The Indus Entrepreneurs-Washington, DC Chapter.
TiE-DC is part of a global organization committed to innovation and business
ties between the United States and India, which claims to have created $250
billion in wealth by encouraging start-up businesses.
Not surprisingly, he is an avid supporter of opportunities for globalization
and was well received when he led a Virginia trade delegation to India in
2006. He is sensitive to "what's happening to e-governance around the world
that can be imported to help us," and poised to help find ways to benefit the
state. "We should look to global markets for scale and bring it back to
Virginia for marginal costs," he says.
An entrepreneur himself, he is co-founder of Avatar Capital, an $11 million
venture capital network investment fund that invested in 18 start-ups during
the dot-com boom. Although some of those ventures never took off, his interest
in entrepreneurship remains strong.
At the Advisory Board Company, a publicly traded health care think tank
serving nearly 2,500 hospitals and health systems, he helped launch the
company's first technology-based product. It married a strong business
intelligence platform with a consortium of hospitals willing to share their
revenue analytics. In less than a year, this collaborative model attracted
nearly 150 members willing to pay six-figure annual fees for business-
intelligence capabilities. It still serves him as a model of the exceptional
achievement that is possible through consortium-building.
It was his link to Indian-American technology entrepreneurs -- business
associates of former Governor Mark Warner -- that brought Aneesh Chopra to
government. Warner appointed him to Virginia's Board of Medical Assistance
Services, to the state's Electronic Health Records Task Force, and to the
Southern Technology Council, a 14-state regional, technology-based, economic
development organization, which he eventually co-chaired.
Aneesh Chopra's wide range of accomplishments enables him to see the big
picture and envision how to bring technology to bear to solve the state's
pressing problems. He has a knack for bringing business, technology and
program expertise together in an analytical approach to thorny government
problems.
While he admits to having little knowledge of the inner workings of
information technology systems, he says he is "a geek who likes technological
devices." More importantly, he understands how to assess the capabilities of
new technologies and how they can be applied to advance program objectives. "I
focus on the root cause of the business problems that we are trying to solve
and then seek the best technology approach to achieve my objective. It's not
about automation, it's about value."
Chopra views innovative technology and Virginia's reputation as a technology-
friendly state as essentials for economic development. He often speaks about
ways to use technology as a tool for economic development -- and not just in
the sense of attracting high-tech industry to the state, but also to improve
the lives of its citizens. "There is a global call for innovations to service
the world's poor profitably," he says. "Why can't service-sector globalization
lift up Virginia's poor?"
He believes Virginia can tap into the passion of engineering students in
vocational-technical schools to "turbo-charge" their careers and the technical
vocation field. "This is where I'll be spending my efforts in the future," he
says. He also wants to improve training for state employees to help them
develop new skill sets and to create an environment of interoperability and
collaboration.
The Secretary of Technology is in the forefront of Virginia's efforts to
expand broadband service to reach businesses in the rural areas of the state,
and proud of the public/private partnerships (with CGI and Northrop
Grumman) to implement an enterprise applications program and improve the state
IT infrastructure that together will create over 700 jobs in the southwest
region of the state.
Chopra is excited about the potential in supporting companies exploring
emerging technologies such as nanotechnology and biotechnology, but he lights
up when he talks about improving government by encouraging innovation.
In April, he entered an agreement with Google that will make government
information more accessible to search engines -- particularly data in the
state's many databases, e.g., licensing records, consumer complaints and
financial transactions. One of four states to adopt this partnering strategy,
Virginia is now working with Michigan and Oregon to share its experience,
insights and lessons learned.
"We need to create an environment in which our contractors create features
that are shareable with other states. Why the heck are we all developing our
own systems?" he asks.
With his collaborative instincts, enthusiasm, credentials, experience, and
willingness to push the boundaries of possibility, Aneesh Chopra is leading
the way in innovative technology practices and applications. The IT community
in both the public and private sectors would do well to keeps its eyes on the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
