New D.C. Chief Technology Officer Is Bryan Sivak
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty has again raided the private sector for an agency head: Bryan D. Sivak, 34, is his new chief technology officer.
Sivak replaces interim CTO Chris Willey, who in turn replaced Vivek Kundra, who exited the Fenty administration for a top federal job in the Office of Management and Budget.
Like transportation director Gabe Klein, Sivak is coming from well outside the governmental sphere. He is a founder of software firm InQuira---an Silicon Valley outfit that has done projects for the like of Nokia, T-Mobile, and the British Ministry of Defense. This will be Sivak's first stint living in the District.
"I'm more of an innovator than anything else," he said at a One Judiciary Square press conference this morning.

Welcome to town, Comrade Bryan. Now can you fire the thieves in your office & get a database set up so the school board knows how many employees it has?
Oh & your boss Fenty - yes, he's got two blackberries, but he's also got two faces & two of everything else except hearts, of which he has none.
Watch your back, man, watch your back. Innovate that.

I am going to start posting on every anti-fenty rant I see. I am from Chicago...and if you think fenty is a poor mayor... You are nuts. He responsible, ethical and focused. He just has a city full of Bammas, crooks, and political prima donnas to manage.
He is trying to help your god-forsaken city. And he started where no other politician had the nerves to start. THE SCHOOLS.
You want to see corruption and incompetence? Let that idiot Gray or Brown be mayor.
Change isn't easy. Pointing fingers is.
