Previously, he was Minnesota's first Chief information officer (CIO) by Governor Tim Pawlenty on August 15, 2005, and reappointed January 2, 2007. Announcing that Khanna would be leaving his post effective December 15, 2010, Governor Pawlenty said that Khanna "is a nationally recognized visionary with a tireless commitment and passion for good government. Gopal has led our efforts to manage information technology as an enterprise program and leveraged public-private partnerships to make government more efficient, effective, and citizen-centric".[2] Prior to his departure, Khanna served as the Lead Co-Chair of the 19 member Minnesota Commission on Service Innovation (CSI), created through a bi-partisan legislation authored by State Senator (D) Terri Bonoff and State Representative (R) Keith Downey, with the charter to submit to the Minnesota legislature recommendations on "a strategic plan to reengineer the delivery of state and local government services, including the realignment of service delivery by region and proximity, the use of new technologies, shared facilities, centralized information technologies, and other means of improving efficiency.".[3] Additionally, Khanna served as a member of Health Information Technology Policy & Standards Committees' Enrollment Workgroup, chaired by President Obama's Chief Technology Officer at The White House, which was tasked to develop a set of standards to facilitate enrollment in federal and state health and human services programs.[4]

Prior to assuming his position in the Governor's Cabinet, Khanna served in the administration of President George W. Bush from June 2002 through August 2005, where he held several senior policy positions including CIO and CFO of the Peace Corps[5] and CFO of the EOP/Office of Administration.[6]

Industry Leadership

As the President of the National Association of State CIOs (NASCIO), Khanna was an advocate for enhanced cyber security,[7] as well as green IT initiatives.[8]

Cyber-attacks are fast becoming the most serious threat our country faces. In light of this ominous direction, Gopal Khanna is deeply committed to bolstering Minnesota's and the nation's capabilities to prevent a major cyber-attack. As he is strongly passionate about this topic, he is Co-Founder of the Cyber Security Summit 2012 and served as the chair of the Summit from 2011 to 2013, and is a member of the Advisory Board. For two days, public and private sector leaders meet to identify dangers and brainstorm innovative solutions at Cyber Security Summit in Minneapolis, MN. Khanna's vision for the Cyber Security Summit is to establish a multi-stakeholder consortium that brings together industry, government and academic interests in an effort to improve the state of cyber security on both a domestic and international level, noting that cyber security cannot be contained and outsourced to any one sector. Khanna also states that due to the vast scope of cyber threats, it requires active engagement of all stakeholders, including entities and organizations – large and small - across every industry  .

Minnesota State CIO

Governor Tim Pawlenty appointed Gopal Khana as the first Chief Information Officer for the State of Minnesota in August 2005.[9] In this role, Khanna developed technology innovations to streamline government and enhance collaboration among business and government entities.[10]

The move to move to an outsourced solution shortly before leaving

office was questioned by Informationweek.[11]

Shortly after his appointment, Khanna was interviewed by Twin Cities Business Magazine and cited many problems he believed were facing Minnesota's IT infrastructure, including "an aging state government workforce and younger tech-savvy who want faster services".

In order to combat these problems, Khanna instituted the following:

  • The Minnesota Information and Telecommunications Technology Systems and Services Master Plan in 2007 which acted as a comprehensive plan for all of Minnesota's information resources; the three pillars of which were consolidating and improving systems, improving efficiency and functionality of common activities, and increasing the security underlying the state's electronic capabilities.[12]
  • The IT Funding Strategies for 21st Century report (2008) which sought "to inform policy makers of the need to create IT funding strategies that are needed urgently to facilitate and manage" Minnesota's information priorities. It also advocated for "flexible and creative approaches to funding business and technological change" in order to "supplement traditional funding methods".[13]
  • The Enterprise Security Strategic Plan (2009) outlined methods to control and protect Minnesota's information assets, and a five-year vision with 19 strategic objectives that were grouped into three categories: Improved situational awareness; proactive risk management; and robust crisis and security incident management.[14]
  • The Minnesota iGov report (2009) updated implementation and best practices outlined to meet the goals outlined in the Master Plan while taking into account the state's fiscal challenges. It had 3 main tenets: citizens have expectations of data and services that are secure, accessible in real time, and locally available; information is one of the state's most important assets; the act of consolidating IT systems is an opportunity to improve fundamental business operations.[15]
  • In September 2010, in an effort to deliver technology services as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, the State of Minnesota's Office of Enterprise Technology signed a groundbreaking enterprise-wide cloud-computing service agreement with Microsoft - being one of the first states to do so.[16]
  • Collaboration initiatives, like those outlined in StateTech Magazine in their Dec 09/Jan 10 issue, worked to "conquer storage woes with storage area networks rollouts, state of the art emergency operations centers, and arraignments conducted via video conferencing" and partner with neighbor states to reduce costs while tackling tough hurdles.[17]

The Department of Revenue did not renew its contract for services from the Office of Enterprise Technology. Quality issues were acknowledged during a State House Legislative hearing.[18]

In September 2008 Khanna was elected by other state CIOs to be the President of the National Associoation of State CIOs.[19][20]

U.S. Peace Corps

Served as Senior Foreign Service (SFS) level policy advisor to the Director of the Peace Corps on matters related to agency planning, congressional appropriations, budget strategizing, and directed all the information technology functions for the organization's worldwide operations. As CIO, provided leadership and oversight for the agency's worldwide IT operations and modernization of systems in support of agency's mission. As CFO, led the implementation of a new, integrated, highly complex financial management system, with ORACLE at the backend, for the agency's domestic offices and overseas operations in 72 countries, thereby providing a scalable platform to support the organization's growth in the 21st century and fulfilling congressionally mandated financial reporting requirements, including submission to the United States Congress on November 15, 2004 the first set of audited financial statements in agency's 43-year history. (  The Peace Corps Performance and Accountability Report)

From 1981 to 1990, he was with the National Council on Compensation Insurance in Boca Raton, Florida, where he held several positions including director of operations and director of strategic planning. Prior to that, Khanna lived in New York City where he held positions in marketing, sales management, merchandising, and corporate training and development with the MONY Financial Services Group.[21]

Civic and community engagement
