Pahlka Named Deputy CTO Of Innovation

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is soon about to see a new face — at least temporarily.

Jennifer Pahlka, founder and executive director at Code for America, announced May 30 she is joining OSTP to serve as deputy chief technology officer for government innovation under U.S. CTO Todd Park.

The position is temporary, and Pahlka called it her “own fellowship year of sorts.”
