Chief Strategy Officer, Arcadia; former US Chief Technology Officer
Health Evolution Leadership Committee

Aneesh Chopra is the Chief Strategy Officer at Arcadia, a healthcare data platform that in 2024 acquired CareJourney, the company Chopra co-founded a decade prior. In his role at Arcadia, Chopra advocates for interoperability and data-driven approaches that help providers, payers, and employers make smarter decisions to succeed in the shift to value-based care. Chopra helps the industry better manage costs and improve care quality with a winning combination of precise insights derived from more than 300 million beneficiaries and over 2 million providers nationwide and a fast, scalable, and interoperable platform with operational tools to act on opportunities.

Chopra’s influence and leadership in technology includes extensive experience in the public sector. He served as the first U.S. Chief Technology Officer under the Obama Administration, where he spearheaded initiatives to modernize the nation’s healthcare system using electronic health records and health information exchanges. These efforts strengthened the data infrastructure used in healthcare delivery reform, ultimately helping the industry progress toward a more connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem.

Chopra also served as Virginia’s Secretary of Technology under Governor Tim Kaine, where he championed the growth of the state’s technology sector, enhanced educational opportunities through technology, and drove innovation in government operations. As a public servant, Aneesh fostered better public-private collaboration, a theme central to his 2014 book, “Innovative State: How New Technologies Can Transform Government.”

Chopra’s significant contributions to the fields of technology and healthcare have cemented his reputation as a forward-thinking leader committed to leveraging technology for the public good. He’s been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare and one of the top 25 “Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers” by Government Technology magazine.

Chopra serves on the boards of IntegraConnect, Virginia Center for Health Innovation, and the George Mason Innovation Advisory Council. He earned his master’s degree in public policy from Harvard Kennedy School and holds a bachelor’s degree in health policy from Johns Hopkins University.
