The Montgomery Group is a small, Atlanta-based solo-practice executive search firm that concentrates on leadership for marketing transformation. It targets senior marketing roles such as CMO, CGO, VP, and Director, working across brand, agency, and private equity ecosystems. The firm distinguishes itself by defining the mandate before proceeding to selection, and by having the same consultant diagnose candidates and engage with them to preserve context without handoffs. Founded by Kristian Schwartz, who spent two decades building marketing organizations at Wired, Razorfish, and Sapient and later served as a Senior Partner at Korn Ferry, the practice has worked with a roster that includes Intel, Disney, HBO, Mailchimp, Inspire Brands, Shamrock Capital, MRM, McCann, and Dentsu. Notable outcomes include a 98% search completion rate, a 95% offer acceptance rate, about double the benchmark for tenure and promotions, and client referrals since 2014.
