Andrew McLaughlin is set to become the second Google exec to join the Obama administration, according to the New York Times. McLaughlin, who spent plenty of time in the limelight as Google's head of global public policy and senior counsel, will serve as CTO Aneesh Chopra's deputy chief technology officer.

Google acknowledged that McLaughlin has left the company, but the White House hasn't made the move official. The Times cited two unnamed sources in its report.
