Fort Worth-based Valor on Thursday announced the hiring of Will Allison as a senior land manager in the company's Mineral Management and Oil and Gas Outsourcing Divisions.
Allison will primarily focus on optimizing existing and new clients' mineral assets, utilizing his robust experience with trust and estate planning, combined with Valor's proprietary software, mineral.tech®.
He will also support the company's oil and gas outsourcing department that provides various services to oil and gas operators and investors.
“As our client roster of mineral asset holders continues to grow, we're committed to hiring top talent like Will Allison to shore up our land and mineral management division," said Hanna Howard, Valor chief operating officer, in a statement. “As a senior land manager, Allison will be instrumental in helping Valor update and optimize current client portfolios, including oversight for our specialty asset holders and the onboarding of new clients through various business development initiatives."
Founded in 2018, Valor is a specialty asset management company with expertise in providing mineral management solutions and oil and gas operator outsourcing. The company also has an office in Midland.
A native of Fort Worth, Allison received a bachelor’s in political science from TCU and earned a law degree from the Texas A&M School of Law, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society.
Prior to joining Valor, Allison served as a vice president for JPMorgan Chase Bank's Domestic Trust Services, which provides operational support for the fiduciary management of specialty assets, including mineral and real estate holdings.
Allison began his multi-decade career in the oil and gas industry as a senior client account manager for Holland Services, where he managed large scale acquisition and investment due diligence, leasing, GIS mapping, and land-related research, most of which occurred in the energy-rich Permian Basin of West Texas.
Allison is a member in good standing of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) and the Fort Worth Association of Professional Landmen (FWAPL).
“I'm greatly looking forward to making contributions at Valor, which is quickly earning a reputation in Texas and beyond as a top-flight specialty asset management firm — especially for mineral rights holders,” said Allison. “I intend to use my previous experience and background to optimize portfolios to ensure all of our mineral-related clients are receiving the best return on investment we can possibly provide.”
