“Few industries are as dynamic and demanding as political fundraising, yet Aubrey Montgomery has made it her arena of influence. As president of Rittenhouse Political Partners, Montgomery leads with clarity, grit and an unshakeable belief in the power of genuine connection. Her mantra, “Real relationships yield results,” is not just a tagline—it’s the strategy behind her firm’s reputation as a trusted force in political finance.
Montgomery entered the political space with over a decade of experience in fundraising for candidates and causes that align with her values. That foundation led to the creation of Rittenhouse Political Partners, a firm that has become synonymous with integrity and strategic acumen in a field often marked by volatility. What sets Montgomery apart is how seamlessly she blends professionalism with passion—ensuring her clients feel seen, heard and supported.
In recent years, Rittenhouse Political Partners has experienced steady growth, fueled by Montgomery’s strategic vision and deep understanding of her industry. She has cultivated a team of high-performers who excel not only in execution but in building lasting partnerships with stakeholders. The firm’s focus remains unwavering: deliver results through authentic engagement and expert counsel.
Montgomery sees the future of her field as increasingly collaborative and mission-driven. As fundraising shifts to become more tech-enabled and data-informed, she’s preparing her team by emphasizing communication, adaptability and strategic foresight. The goal is not to replace human connection with automation, but to enhance it. That balance of tradition and innovation is a hallmark of her leadership.
What makes Montgomery a Titan 100 Honoree is her rare ability to lead with humility while maintaining razor-sharp execution. She credits much of her inspiration to the clients she works alongside daily—change-makers, public servants and advocates who challenge the status quo. Their missions fuel her own.
Montgomery measures success not by transactions, but by transformation. Her accomplishments include recognition as one of the most influential fundraisers in the region, features in industry publications and consistent firm growth in a highly competitive landscape. She takes greatest pride in building a company where staff can thrive while contributing to causes they believe in—a workplace that values excellence without sacrificing humanity.
Keeping her enthusiasm alive is surprisingly simple: work with people who inspire her. From long-term political strategists to new voices entering public service, Montgomery draws motivation from the relationships she nurtures. Her leadership style mirrors the very foundation of her business—be present, be purposeful and always deliver with integrity.
If she could instantly master one skill, Montgomery would choose name and facial recognition. In a people-centric business, she understands the value of making everyone feel remembered and important—a reflection of her attention to detail and personal touch.
Montgomery is a Titan not because she commands attention, but because she earns trust. In a high-stakes, high-pressure industry, she has crafted a culture of authenticity and built a business that proves empathy and excellence can—and should—coexist.
