Contact Information​

  • Email: [Update if available]
  • Phone: [Update if available]

Professional Background​

  • Works in the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)
  • Appears to have responsibility for Executive Order implementation related to technology policy
  • Specific role and full title not specified in transcript
  • May be connected to David McIntosh (mentioned in same context by Samuel Armes)

Strategic Value​

  • Potential gateway to government technology policy
  • Could be valuable for AI in education initiatives
  • Positioned at intersection of technology policy and implementation
  • May provide access to federal educational technology initiatives

Current Projects & Initiatives​

  • Implementing Executive Orders related to technology (specific EO not identified)
  • Likely involved in AI policy given the context of discussion
  • May have insight into federal education technology priorities

Connection Status​

Samuel Armes has requested a meeting:

"I told them about Alpha Schools... My ask of Jim, literally I asked Jim, I want to meet with Michael Kratsios, who we just talked to David McIntosh about, Office of Science and Technology, the EO. He said, okay, let's set up a meeting."

Potential Collaboration Areas​

  • AI policies related to education
  • Government partnerships for educational technology
  • Implementation of technology-focused Executive Orders
  • Alpha Schools' AI educational model in government contexts
  • Prison education technology initiatives discussed at the breakfast

Approach Strategy​

James McCarroll advised on positioning for government officials like Kratsios:

"Lead with the talent, attack the accomplishments, right? You know, run the leading AI boot camps every month."

Gary indicated he would like to meet with him:

"Let's all get in a room with Michael Kratsios, and we'll room this out. And if Michael feels like he already has everything figured out and doesn't want any input, it's fine, that is what it is. But I suspect he would like talking to us about what the future of AI in education is."

Notes​

Michael Kratsios appears to be a target contact rather than an established relationship at this point. Samuel Armes has requested a meeting through Jim (McCarroll), but it's unclear if this has been scheduled.

Given his position in the Office of Science and Technology and apparent responsibility for Executive Order implementation, he could be a valuable contact for Alpha's AI education initiatives. His potential interest in the future of AI in education would align well with Alpha's focus areas.

The approach to Kratsios should follow James McCarroll's advice to lead with concrete accomplishments and quantifiable metrics regarding Alpha's AI initiatives, particularly focusing on the AI engineering bootcamps and their success.

This potential relationship should be approached with a clear value proposition for how Alpha's technologies and educational model could support government initiatives in education and technology implementation.
