Todd Keeney

Todd Gordon Keeney is a Seattle-based investment-operations and finance executive whose career has centered on institutional alternatives management rather than early-stage angel investing. He served as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Aptitude Investment Management LP (formerly Federal Way Asset Management LP) from March 1, 2012. In that role he ran the firm's internal affairs — operating due diligence, funding, performance reporting, and the design and execution of the firm's operating, funding, and trading infrastructure for the portfolios it managed. Public regulatory data lists his ownership stake in the firm as less than 5%. Before Aptitude, he held a similar operating/finance role at Weyerhaeuser Asset Management LLC, the in-house manager of the Weyerhaeuser Company pension assets.

The firm's history explains Keeney's trajectory. The team began in 2004 as Weyerhaeuser's in-house asset manager, overseeing the company's pension assets, then spun out as an independent firm, Federal Way Asset Management LP, in 2012 (Federal Way, WA being Weyerhaeuser's longtime home). The independent firm offered both alternatives management (hedge funds and private equity) and fiduciary/OCIO management to a small number of institutional clients, overseeing roughly $5.2–5.6 billion in assets. In April 2017 the firm rebranded as Aptitude Investment Management LP and relocated to downtown Seattle.

On December 27, 2018, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Asset Management acquired Aptitude, a fund-of-hedge-funds and multi-manager business, folding the team into Goldman's asset-management unit. Keeney moved with the business and is now listed as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs Asset Management in Seattle. Consultant-relations and asset-management databases (IC Research, AlphaMaven, PitchBook, Foundersuite) catalog him in that institutional-allocator capacity.

His education is reported as the Brigham Young University Marriott School of Business.

• Keeney's verifiable activity is institutional multi-manager allocation — selecting and overseeing hedge funds, private equity, and other alternatives on behalf of institutional clients — first at Weyerhaeuser/Federal Way/Aptitude and now within Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
• His functional specialty is the operating, funding, performance-reporting, and operational-due-diligence side of an alternatives manager, i.e., manager selection and infrastructure rather than direct company investing.
• No public source supports a personal angel/seed thesis, check size, or target-company profile. The "Angel Investors / Seed Round / firm type Angel Investors" details in the supplied stub could not be corroborated against any primary or secondary source, so they are flagged as unverified rather than restated as fact.
