Barack Obama poaches Facebook engineer to fix White House technology

Posted by Unknown in: Barack Obama Facebook White House Technology
An FB engineering director accepted the new position of White House information technology director, becoming the latest Silicon Valley hire by the President of the US.

David Recordon met Obama last year when he was part of the administration's creation of the U.S Digital Service, which is intended to recruit technology:savvy people to improve federal government websites.This appointment was announced on Thursday in a Web post by the deputy White House chief of staff,Anita Decker Breckenridge.



"In our continued efforts to serve our citizens better, we're bringing in top tech leaders to support our teams across the federal government," Obama said in the post."His considerable private sector experience and ability to deploy the latest collaborative and communication technologies will be a great asset to our work on behalf of the American people."

The hiring of an engineer from the social networking site follows Obama's recruitment of technology-industry insiders, including former Google. Deputy General Counsel Michelle K Lee to lead the US Patent and Trademark Office and former Google Vice President Megan Smith to be US chief technology officer.
