Theodore Roosevelt VI (born circa 1976), known as Theodore Roosevelt V, is an American businessman and environmentalist. Theodore is a great-great-grandson of 26th US President Theodore Roosevelt and through his ancestor Cornelius Van Schaack Jr., he is a descendant of the Schuyler family.[1][self-published source][2] His name suffix varies since President Roosevelt's father was Theodore Roosevelt Sr., though the same-named son did not commonly use a "Jr" name suffix.

Early life[edit]

Theodore Roosevelt V was born to Theodore Roosevelt IV (born 1942), investment banker, and Constance Lane Rogers. He is a great-great-grandson of US President Theodore Roosevelt. As an Oyster Bay Roosevelt, and through his ancestor Cornelius Van Schaack Jr., he is a descendant of the Schuyler family.[1][3]

He graduated from Deerfield Academy and Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1998[4] and Stanford's Graduate School of Business with an MBA.

Career[edit]

Roosevelt was a Senior Vice President in the leverage finance group at Lehman Brothers and its successor, Barclays Capital through 2010.[5] He then joined New York-based hedge fund GoldenTree Asset Management where he served as a Managing Director until 2015.[6] He is currently a partner at Redwood Grove Capital, a concentrated, sustainable, value public equity fund.[7] Roosevelt is a board member of the New York League of Conservation Voters[8] and is the Vice Chair of ecoAmerica.[6] He was an early supporter of President Barack Obama's environmental policies and was on the President's energy and environment committee.[9] As a member of the Vote Bison Advisory Council he helped get the American bison named the National Mammal in 2016.[10]

Personal life[edit]

At 32, Roosevelt married Serena Clare Torrey on September 12, 2008.[11]
