David Plouffe, who was campaign manager of Obama for America and senior advisor to president Barack Obama, has joined Precision Strategies as of counsel.
In managing Obama’s election and re-election races, Plouffe developed one of the most sophisticated and data-driven efforts.
Precision co-founder Stephanie Cutter, deputy manager of Obama’s 2012 campaign and chief of staff to First Lady Michelle Obama, said Plouffe’s “experience in managing integrated campaigns is second to none.”
Upon leaving the White House, Plouffe was senior VP of policy and strategy at Uber, where he hammered up ridesharing laws in dozens of nations.
He was also president for policy and advocacy at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, helping Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan launch the organization.
