Career
Bookman co-founded OpenGov, Inc in 2012 with Joe Lonsdale and Stanford University technologists[3]. With OpenGov, Bookman has worked to bring cloud software to local government[4], a sector overlooked by many software-as-a-service firms[5]. Bookman has long advocated for investments in "govtech"[6] and for creating a mission-driven culture in service of local governments [7]. In 2021 he completed a cross-country bike ride from San Francisco to the Chesapeake Bay to visit with local government leaders to thank them for their service and discuss shared challenges[8].
Prior to founding OpenGov, Bookman served as Advisor to U.S. Army General H.R. McMaster (2011-2012), on the Combined Joint Interagency Task Force (Shafafiyat) at the International Security Assistance Force headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. Bookman helped lead a Rule of Law team on the task force that worked with the Afghan Department of Justice on corruption cases, such as the bribery scandal at the Dawood National Military Hospital[9].
