Story: Top 10 candidates to be Obama's CTO
and the winner is...
Although John Chambers was a McCain supporter, he should not be eliminated from the CTO race. Mr. Obama has had no problem with selecting other competitors from the race so there should be no issue here. This is about selecting the best person for the job regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation.
The CTO for the USA should be both a visionary and a leader. Otherwise we will continue to have multiple systems infrastructures that do not follow prescribed standards. We have already seen the danger and the waste created by system’s incompatibility, the unwillingness of department heads to collaborate, and the failure to share and analyze data that is critical to the security of the country.
The other standout candidate from this list is Eric Schmidt. However, he may prefer to complete his mission at Google.
All candidates on the list are obviously successful leaders and are more than capable of taking on this important role. That said, the two aforementioned executives seem to possess the best balance of skills needed to exceed as CTO of this great country.
