Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in a White House blog post.

    “As the nation’s first CTO and a former Virginia Secretary of Technology, Aneesh Chopra’s unique combination of technology knowledge and government experience has been an invaluable asset both to our federal government and the Commonwealth. Through his leadership, the government has been able to leverage technology to promote innovation, reduce costs and improve transparency. We thank Aneesh for his contributions and look forward to working with him in the future.”–Bobbie Kilberg, CEO of NVTC
