Nextgov: President Donald Trump has created a new White House office dedicated to bringing private sector tech practices to the government.
The new Office of American Innovation has been described internally as a “SWAT team” of consultants—executives recruited from the commercial world—and is headed up by Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, according to a Washington Post report from Sunday.
The White House, which has provided sparse details, will work with chief executives from prominent tech businesses including Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple’s Tim Cook, Salesforce’s Marc Benioff and Microsoft’s Bill Gates, according to the Post.
