CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Elder Research is honored to welcome Christina Ho as Vice President of Government Analytics and Innovation where she will lead Elder Research's Government business unit that delivers trusted analytics and practical solutions to enable impactful government actions and transformation.  Christina has decades of experience in serving the federal government in public finance, policy development, strategic planning, program and financial management, operations, auditing, consulting, and technology innovation.

Christina was the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Transparency at US Treasury and received the US Treasury Secretarial Meritorious Service Award in recognition of her superior achievement in leading the government-wide implementation of the DATA Act in 2017. Her efforts to transform government-wide spending information from disconnected documents into open data greatly improved transparency and accountability.
