March 05, 2009 — Computerworld — President Barack Obama Thursday appointed the District of Columbia's chief technology officer, Vivek Kundra, as the federal government's first CIO. The decision to appoint a CIO is an apparent move by the White House to give it more control over the US$80 billion that federal agencies spend annually on technology.
Obama still plans to name a chief technology officer, an appointment he announced early in his campaign for office, but the selection of a CIO was something of surprise and possibly a recognition by the new administration that the CTO won't have enough authority, alone, to shape federal technology spending.
