I'm Aneesh Chopra, and I believe that together we can build a better and more innovative future for Virginia. I've served as Secretary of Technology for Governor Tim Kaine, and as the nation's first Chief Technology Officer under President Barack Obama. I hope you'll join me in finding new ways to collaborate and create a Commonwealth that respects and includes everyone and provides the best opportunities for everyone to succeed.

I would welcome your feedback on my new book, Innovative State: How New Technologies Can Transform Government, which attempts to frame how we might solve our biggest challenges through collaboration.

If you wish to join me in this endeavor, please visit Hunch Analytics, a startup I co-founded to harness the full power of public and private data to tackle some of the core challenges that we face in the realms of energy, education and healthcare.
