Federal Contractors | Technology 2023: ANEESH CHOPRA

In 2014, Chopra co-founded Arlington-based CareJourney, an open-data analytics platform designed to help physicians and provider networks improve health care delivery at lower cost to Medicare and Medicaid patients by better understanding patient demographics and identifying highest-need populations.

Between 2009 and 2012, Chopra served as the federal government’s first chief technology officer, under President Barack Obama, and he was Virginia’s technology secretary during U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine’s term as governor.

In addition to starting CareJourney, Chopra also co-founded its parent company, Hunch Analytics, a “hatchery” to incubate ideas that improve the productivity of health and education markets. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University, Chopra has a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. He chairs the George Mason University President’s Innovation Advisory Council and serves on the boards of the Virginia Center for Health Innovation and the Health Care Cost Institute.
