Fort Worth Energy Executive Tapped To Join Exclusive '40 Under 40' Club

by

Valor, a Fort Worth-based specialty asset management company with expertise in providing mineral management and oil and gas outsourcing, announced this week that Matt Autry, president of the company's oil and gas division, has been selected for two prestigious energy-related awards.

Autry was recently selected to join the 2023 class of Hart Energy's 40 Under 40 executives. Those in the class were chosen for their commitment to advancing the future of the energy industry, as well as the interests of the companies they represent.

In addition, Autry has been named a finalist in the "Rising Star" category of the 25th edition of the Platts Global Energy Awards. The finalists in this award category were selected for their potential to advance the industry's interests as the next generation of oil and gas professionals.

“To be recognized for these prestigious two awards among such a diverse group of industry disruptors is truly an honor,” said Autry in a statement. “This personal recognition is a credit to Valor's commitment to innovation and forward-thinking progress, which has created endless opportunities to develop practices that have a net positive impact in the asset management community. I believe we're just getting started on what we can accomplish when it comes to specialty asset management.”

Hart Energy's 40 Under 40 Awards, presented by Oil & Gas Investor Magazine, celebrate the achievements of 40 trailblazing honorees whose contributions to the energy industry are representative of tenacity, curiosity, and creativity.

“Each new role that I have accepted throughout my career is a milestone achievement that happened sooner than it ever should have,” Autry told Hart Energy when asked which career milestone he reached sooner than expected. “I didn’t go to school to be a landman in the oil and gas industry. It was a bone thrown to me in a time of need. I have accepted the opportunity since day one and never looked back.”

Finalists in for the Platts Global Energy Awards, hosted by S&P Global Commodity Insights, include companies and individuals from 33 countries.

Winners will be announced at a black-tie gala in New York City on Dec. 7.
