I hear that he trimmed some significant fat from the Peace Corps, causing whining from the usual suspects.

Therefore, he's probably a very good guy.

Gopal Khanna
Chief Information Officer
Peace Corps


Gopal Khanna was so successful as chief information officer of the Peace Corps that his bosses gave him another challenge: chief financial officer.

During his tenure as CIO, Khanna transformed the organization by creating an enterprise architecture and melding information technology plans with investment management processes. Developed in partnership with non-IT staff, the architecture encouraged program officers to collaborate on technology projects and become involved in e-government initiatives.

"He is about as good a change agent as I have ever come across," said Claude Christensen, the Peace Corps' chief architect. "He just took the place by storm in terms of setting the IT direction strategically."

Hot off his stint as CIO, he was named CFO with the goal of achieving a similar transformation of the Peace Corps' ailing financial management system.
