Federal CIO Vivek Kundra is leaving to take a fellowship at Harvard University. Kundra was a great communicator who greatly expanded Federal IT visibility and attention. Federal IT professionals say Kundra’s insistence on cloud computing was too myopic and technology focused. A lot of the projects Kundra identified were things like “moving 25,000 NOAA email accounts to the cloud,” that would have been characterized as outsourcing 3 years ago before Kundra arrived, says John Sutter. Sutter: Kundra spun up a whole bunch of new initiatives and is now on greener pastures.”]
