Talented executive also recently accepted into an emerging women leadership networking group
FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 21, 2023 - Valor, a Fort Worth-based specialty asset management company with expertise in providing mineral management and oil and gas outsourcing, is proud to announce a key internal promotion for Hanna Howard, who has assumed the role of the company's chief operating officer (COO). Howard previously served as the organization's chief of staff. In this expanded COO role, she'll be responsible for overseeing the full operational and administrative side of the oil and gas outsourcing firm, including strategic planning, staff development, and project management.
"Hanna Howard's well-deserved promotion to chief operating officer is a credit to her leadership style and effectiveness in optimizing our standard operating procedures and organizational structure," stated Joseph DeWoody, CEO of Valor. "Since joining Valor at the end of 2022, she's made dozens of positive contributions that have earned the respect of the company's executive leadership and team members alike. We look forward to having her in this elevated role, where her talent and abilities will be on further display to the benefit of our staff and clients."
Hanna Howard brings a fiercely competitive mindset to the executive leadership team, having spent a lifetime in coaching positions where she was directly responsible for inspiring greatness in others. Prior to joining Valor, Howard served as an associate head women's basketball coach at both TCU and Fresno State. Hanna earned her bachelor's degree in organizational communication from the University of Portland, and received her master's degree from Concordia University, Irvine, in coaching and athletic administration and sports science.
Howard was also recently nominated and accepted into D CEO's Emerging Women Leadership Network program for 2023-2024. It's a unique – and hyperlocal – opportunity for female leaders in North Texas to accelerate their careers and their personal and professional growth. Through a program consisting of 10+ virtual and in-person events, each individual will participate in exclusive content and programs developed by D CEO Partners' female executives, experienced leaders, and coaches, thereby gaining access to further mentoring and growth through an all-inclusive peer network. Taking on this challenge is a testament to Howard's commitment to grow, learn, and improve through professional development initiatives.
"I'm extremely honored to receive this promotion to chief operating officer," stated Howard. "Being a part of a vibrant company like Valor has endless parallels to being a part of a competitive sports team. I've now joined a company that's experienced tremendous success and growth in its five-year lifespan. As a transformational leader, I'm now in a position to build an even stronger foundational support for our growth, as well as strategies that continue to ensure our future success as an organization."
