Chris Allen serves as Head of External Affairs at Beemok, where he supports leadership on strategic projects, logistical operations, external communications, and civic engagement.

Mr. Allen has worked alongside Beemok’s founder, Ben Navarro, since 2012, beginning in the Office of the CEO at Sherman Capital. His continuity across both entities reflects a longstanding role as a key advisor and operator—someone relied upon to anticipate needs and help move important efforts forward with clarity and discretion.

Before joining Sherman, Mr. Allen served as National Political Director for former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr.’s presidential campaign, worked in the Office of the CEO at Greystar Real Estate Partners, and served as Personal Aide to the Governor of South Carolina.

Mr. Allen holds a B.A. in Political Science from Clemson University.

He serves on the board of Meeting Street Schools, where he played a key role in helping establish its pioneering public-private partnership model.

A longtime resident of Sullivan’s Island, SC, Mr. Allen enjoys traveling to the Swiss Alps, walking his Gordon Setter, Archie, on the beach, and challenging himself to master complex culinary techniques (and simple ones like not crying when slicing onions).
