David Plouffe (/ˈplʌf/; born May 27, 1967)[1][2] is an American political and business strategist best known as the campaign manager for Barack Obama's successful 2008 presidential campaign. A long-time Democratic Party campaign consultant, he was a partner at the party-aligned campaign consulting firm AKPD Message and Media, which he joined in 2000.[3]
Plouffe was an outside senior advisor to Obama since the president's first day in office and was then appointed as a Senior Advisor to the President (inside the White House) in 2011 following the resignation of David Axelrod, who went on to start Obama's reelection campaign.[4] In September 2014, he became the Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategy for Uber.[5]
In May 2015, he left that role to become a full-time strategic adviser for the company.[6] In January 2017, he joined the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to lead the policy and advocacy efforts of the initiative.[7] In 2019, Politico reported he joined the Board of Directors of liberal nonprofit ACRONYM, where he would advise an anti-Trump digital campaign.[8][9]
