451 Research is excited to announce that Aneesh Chopra will be our guest speaker at this year’s Hosting + Cloud Transformation Summit. During his tenure as the first-ever chief technology officer for the United States, Aneesh was a vital asset to the President. He designed the National Wireless Initiative, helped launch Startup America, and executed an "open innovation" strategy focused on better public-private collaboration. Chopra is the cofounder and executive vice president of Hunch Analytics, a “hatchery” incubating ideas that improve the productivity of health and education markets, including NavHealth, an open data intelligence service. He serves as a member of the council on Virginia’s Future, and in 2015, served as the inaugural Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. In 2011, Chopra was named to Modern Healthcare's list of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” and in 2008, to Government Technology magazine's “Top 25” in their Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers issue. He is a senior advisor to The Advisory Board Company, a health-care consultancy, and to Albright Stonebridge Group, a premier strategic advisory and commercial diplomacy firm.
