Todd Molz
Affiliate, Law Executive Education
BioTodd Molz spent two decades in senior leadership at Oaktree Capital Management, a global alternative asset manager that grew from $30 billion to more than $200 billion in assets under management during his tenure. As Chief Operating Officer and a member of its Executive Committee, he oversaw all non-investment functions, including finance, technology, legal, compliance, and human resources, across 26 offices worldwide. He led investments in the firm's technology infrastructure and the establishment of Oaktree's Hyderabad office, which grew to become the firm's second-largest office in under a year.
Previously, as General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer, Todd led several defining milestones, including Oaktree’s 2007 listing as the first company on Goldman Sachs' GSTrUE private trading platform, its 2012 NYSE listing, and its 2019 go-private transaction with Brookfield.
Earlier in his career, Todd was a partner in the tax and transactional practice at Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, advising on tax and structuring in complex private equity, M&A, and financial transactions. He began his legal career clerking for Judge Alfred T. Goodwin on the Ninth Circuit and was one of six inaugural recipients of the ABA's John S. Nolan Fellowship.
Todd's interests include the evolution of alternative asset managers into global institutions, with a focus on corporate governance and organizational leadership. He holds a J.D. with Honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where he was Order of the Coif and a member of the Law Review, and a B.A. in Political Science from Middlebury College.

Samuel Montalvo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioAs a clinical exercise physiologist, sport scientist, and biomechanist, I study the mechanical, physiological, and molecular determinants of human performance and health. I am certified as a Performance and Sport Scientist (CPSS), Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Distinction (CSCS,*D), and Clinical Exercise Physiologist.
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and a member of the Stanford Bioinformatics Core and Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance. My training has been supported by the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Postdoctoral Fellowship, the NIH T32 Research Training in Myocardial Biology at Stanford, and a two-year NIH/NHLBI Loan Repayment Program award in Research in Emerging Areas Critical to Human Health.
My research integrates clinical exercise physiology, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, biomechanics, and multi-omics to better understand how physical activity influences cardiovascular health, biological adaptation, and athletic performance. Through the NIH-funded Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium, I analyze large clinical, multi-omic, multi-tissue, multi-modality, and multi-species datasets to identify mechanisms and biomarkers of exercise response.
I also collaborate on projects involving sports cardiology and electrocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, exercise and neuromuscular disease, and athlete performance, including work with Stanford Baseball and external sports-science collaborators.
Teaching and mentoring are central to my academic work. As a first-generation college graduate and Mexican American with Indigenous heritage, I am committed to creating supportive and inclusive pathways for trainees from underrepresented backgrounds. I serve as a Postdoctoral Mentoring Coach with the Stanford Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, participate in the Stanford PRISM program, and mentor prospective and current medical students through the MAVERICs program within the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute.
My long-term goal is to lead an independent research program that combines exercise physiology, multi-omics, physical activity, nutrition, cardiovascular science, and sports performance while mentoring the next generation of scientists. -
