Valor
Claire Ames Shaw
Valor, a Fort Worth-based specialty asset management company with expertise in mineral management and oil and gas accounting, has named Claire Ames Shaw as the company's new director of West Texas operations.
Shaw will work from Valor's satellite office in Midland.
“Over the past few years, we've noted a substantial increase in new mineral management clients and prospects in the West Texas region,” said Valor CEO Joseph DeWoody in a statement. “Claire's experience and credentials made her a unanimous choice to head up Valor's office in Midland. Under her leadership and guidance, we look forward to having boots on the ground and the opportunity to strengthen relationships with the individual and institutional clients we serve.”
In the past decade, Shaw has lived and worked in Midland. She spent eight years at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, three of which were in the Midland office, and another two years working as a land assistant for Statewide Minerals Company.
While at J.P. Morgan she held both Series 7 and Series 63 licenses, qualifying her to work as an agent with all types of corporate securities offerings. In addition to representing Valor's local interests, she'll also be continuing her work with the nonprofit Young Professionals Organization (YPO) of West Texas.
Shaw is a graduate of Auburn University, where she earned a bachelor’s in finance.
With offices in Fort Worth and Midland, Valor has grown to become one of the Southwest's leading private asset managers, providing mineral management, oil and gas bookkeeping, and operator outsourcing for mineral owners and oil and gas investors.
Thanks to the company's revolutionary mineral.tech® software platform and mineral management services, Valor now oversees a combined 10.2 million gross acres and 560,000 net royalty acres of mineral and property rights on behalf of more than 100,000 interests across 32 U.S. states.
