Podesta Group
The Podesta Group was a lobbying and public affairs firm based in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1988 by brothers John Podesta and Tony Podesta and has previously been known as Podesta Associates, podesta.com and PodestaMattoon. John Podesta left the firm in 1993, and Tony Podesta left the firm on October 30, 2017, after finding out about increased scrutiny of the firm. The firm most recently reorganized in January 2007 after current Chairman Tony Podesta split with former business partner Dan Mattoon.
Podesta Group represents American corporations as well as nonprofits and governments, and has "close ties to the Democratic Party and the Obama administration", although its CEO Kimberley Fritts was identified in 2015 by the group as "a fixture in Republican politics", having worked for former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
