Indian American Named Peace Corp CIO
Ashish Kumar Sen
President George W. Bush has appointed Indian American entrepreneur Gopal Khanna, the former president and chief executive officer of Edina, Minn.-based International Technology Consultants, as chief information officer at the Peace Corps. “It's really the ultimate honor one can receive in life to get this opportunity to serve one’s country,” said Khanna, who recently relocated to Washington, D.C. and is a national vice president of the Association of Indians in America.
Peace Corps Director Gaddi Vasquez said Khanna “brings to the Peace Corps his extensive experience in leveraging technology to improve business processes.” In his new role, Khanna will be responsible for strategizing and directing the information technology functions at the Peace Corps.
"I believe this call for service gives the Indian American community an opportunity to come forth and bring their skills in the areas of education, science, technology, entrepreneurship and offer them to communities all over the world where we can make a difference," Khanna said.
