About Data Equity @ San José  The Mayor’s Office of Technology and Innovation (MOTI) leverages technology to address pressing issues facing San José to improve our residents’ livelihoods, opportunities, and city experience. MOTI’s data equity team works with City departments to drive equitable outcomes for constituents via our data equity framework, which creates consistency, transparency, and accountability towards equity goals. With an emphasis on analyzing the City’s data ethically, we work with stakeholders to set, measure, and monitor equity objectives to address equity gaps in key city programs.  Christine Keung is the Chief Data Officer for the City of San Jose and a 2020-21 Harvard Business School Leadership Fellow.
