google’s megan smith named white house chief technology officer

A former Google Inc. X lab executive is President Barack Obama’s choice to be the next U.S. chief technology officer.
Obama is naming Megan Smith, most recently a vice president of the Google X lab, for the CTO position and Twitter’s Alexander Macgillivray to be her deputy, John Holdren, Obama’s science adviser, said yesterday in a blog post.
“Megan has spent her career leading talented teams and taking cutting-edge technology and innovation initiatives from concept to design to deployment,” Obama said in a statement. “I am confident that in her new role as America’s chief technology officer, she will put her long record of leadership and exceptional skills to work on behalf of the American people.”
Smith will succeed Todd Park, who resigned to return home to California. Aneesh Chopra was the first person to hold the job, which Obama created after taking office in 2009.
The CTO serves as a liaison between the White House and Silicon Valley companies. The job is designed to give advice to the government on better use of technology, including ways to create jobs and increase broadband use.
