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. He was the senior advisor to Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign.[3] 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.[4]
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.[5] In September 2014, he became the Senior Vice President of Policy and Strategy for Uber.[6]
In May 2015, he left that role to become a full-time strategic adviser for the company.[7] In January 2017, he joined the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to lead its policy and advocacy efforts.[8] In 2019, Politico reported he joined the board of directors of liberal nonprofit ACRONYM, where he would advise an anti-Trump digital campaign.[9][10]
