Market influence is earned, not appointed. Yet, I’ve got to believe that Aneesh Chopra, recently appointed as the first CTO of the United States, is going to become a force of influence very quickly. And I’m looking forward to hearing him speak next week at the Churchill Club.

Most of the government tech influencers are people advising on government tech spending, government tech purchasing processes and tech-related regulatory and legal matters.

Mr. Chopra presents a new possibility in the role of government as a force exerting influence on the tech industry and as a target for influencer relations.

Check out details and costs here. Let me know if you’ll be there too. Would love to connect.
