BusinessWeek is reporting that D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, is on President-elect Obama’s short list for the newly created position of Federal Chief Technology Officer. The choices have been narrowed down to only two: Kundra, and another Indian-born technology executive, Padmasree Warrior, who is the chief technology officer of Cisco Systems. All parties are mum on the selection process. Since taking the District CTO position in 2007, Kundra has developed a reputation for bringing in new technologies to D.C. government, including a partnership with Google and the introduction of cutting edge evaluation tools that have brought more efficiency and openness. Before coming to the District, Kundra was assistant secretary of commerce and technology for Virginia.
