DC Tech Titans

Congrats to the 100 "Tech Titans" named by Washingtonian Magazine.

How were they picked? Garrett Graff writes:

To get a clearer picture of what the region’s tech community looks like, we interviewed entrepreneurs, dealmakers and investors, political and government officials, and corporate and community leaders to compile a list of Washington’s 100 top tech leaders. We focused our search on two factors: (1) success, defined as a proven track record in the tech world, and (2) influence, being listened and look to by others for leadership and vision. We weeded out players who are simply loud as opposed to influential, so some names familiar in the media may not appear here.  

Special mention goes to honored 463 clients:

Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association. The longtime head of the top trade association for the $173-billion-a-year consumer-electronics market, Shapiro plays a key role in policy and in promoting advances such as HDTV.

Leslie Harris, president and CEO, Center for Democracy & Technology. CDT finds itself at the nexus of emerging issues around privacy, government spying, and Internet technology, so it’s lucky for civil libertarians that Harris knows the new administration’s movers and shakers well.

The list also and appropriately includes Obama appointees and nominees Vivek Kundra (CIO), Julius Genachowski (FCC), Aneesh Chopra (CTO) and Christine Varney (DOJ).
