Henri Makembe, Partner, Beekeeper Group

Henri Makembe is partner at Beekeeper Group, leading the Interactive Division. Makembe believes that all campaigns, regardless of size, can and should be using technology efficiently. He has worked and consulted on many national and local campaigns in the DC area, helping both large organizations such as NPR, the United Nations, and Microsoft as well as small non-profits and down-ballot races harness the power of digital communications and organizing.

Regardless of the resources available, Makembe makes digital technology a big part of his work. At a young age Makembe is a much sought-after expert in the field of online communication and advocacy and his skills are constantly evolving. Makembe knows that in order to provide the most effective information and products to his clients, it is crucial to remain up to date as technologies change and grow. He spends much of time reading and learning from his peers about new and effective practices he can bring back to his work at Beekeeper Group and LocalPolitechs Strategies.
