Bio
Todd 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. He has served on the boards of Oaktree Capital Management and 17Capital, and as a trustee of Children's Hospital Los Angeles and other nonprofit organizations.
