Vivek Kundra, appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 as the first United States CIO, recently announced his resignation to accept a fellowship at Harvard University. Kundra’s departure comes shortly after he released “a 25-point plan for improving federal IT,” says CIO Insight.
CIOs in our legal technology community often face incredible resistance when seeking buy-ins from stakeholders for new systems and IT strategies — and it looks like Kundra may have been the Don Quixote of government tech reform. EWeek.com speculates that “Kundra may have found that he was given an impossible job and finally left once it became clear that the post of federal CIO was never going to work.”
