White House Launches New Digital Initiative

The White House recently announced a new digital strategy, which addresses a broad array of topics such as open government, data quality, and attracting talent, among others.

This strategy is the work of Steven VanRoekel CIO of the Federal government, and Todd Park, the CTO.

VanRoekel assumed the role of Federal CIO after Vivek Kundra, the first person to hold the position newly created under the Obama administration, left last year.  Similarly, Park assumed the CTO role after Aneesh Chopra departed.
