Huey's appointment comes more than three months after Rebecca Lovell left the AoA to run the Northwest Entrepreneur Network.
Huey spent the past 18 months working in London for Hewlett-Packard. Before that, he spent nearly six years at Frazier Technology Ventures where he was able to get to know AoA chairman Dan Rosen well.
In a statement, Rosen said that Huey emerged as the best candidate for the job.
“He was a member of AoA during his time at Frazier Technology Ventures, so he brings a familiarity and appreciation for what we do in addition to a wealth of experience working with investors and startup companies," Rosen said.
Last year, members of the AoA invested $6.4 million in 36 companies.
