SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- David Plouffe joined the philanthropic Chan Zuckerberg Initiative as a policy and advocacy chief, the organization announced.
Plouffe, 49, formerly President Barack Obama's campaign manager, will end his day-to-day activities as adviser to Uber Technologies Inc., although he will remain a non-voting Uber board member. His involvement at Uber has diminished since former Google executive Rachel Whetstone was hired to lead the company's policy and communications divisions, Bloomberg News said Wednesday.
