From the halls of the Capitol to the agencies that operate the country, Tony Podesta uses his unique understanding of how the nation’s capital works to navigate the political landscape as Chairman of the Podesta Group. Recently named the most powerful person in Washington by GQ magazine, Tony is recognized by his peers, the news media and decision-makers across the federal government as the man with the judgment and strategic sense to get things done in DC.

Tony has led the way on some of the most significant policy debates in recent history, honing expertise that ranges from health care to financial services to technology. And despite his firm’s growth, he maintains its client-focused, results-oriented approach.
Respected throughout the political and legal community as one of the Democratic Party’s top political strategists, Tony has been active for many years with Democratic congressional leaders as well as with many rank-and-file members in both the House and Senate. Additionally, he is active with the Democratic Governors Association and maintains relationships with governors from coast to coast. As the head of the Podesta Group, which The Washington Times calls “one of Washington’s most successful firms of its kind,” Tony has delivered successful outcomes for businesses of all sizes, nonprofits, coalitions and governments. His success over the past 20 years confirms what the media has been saying: If you want something done in Washington, DC, you go to Tony Podesta.
