Hanna Howard and Ashley Beebe, both TCU-Alums, join company in 2023
FORT WORTH, TX (Jan. 12, 2023) – Valor, a Fort Worth-based specialty asset management company with expertise in mineral management and accounting-based software solutions, has announced the hiring of two female executives with a local college connection. Effective immediately, Hanna Howard – a former associate head coach for the TCU Women’s Basketball team – will serve as the company’s chief of staff. And Ashley Beebe – previously the associate director of major gifts for the TCU Frog Club – has been hired to serve in the organization’s newly created position of chief growth officer. Both Howard and Beebe competed in college athletics at the Division I level.
“We are thrilled to add these two powerhouse executives to the team,” said Joseph DeWoody, CEO of Valor. “They’ve previously held high-performing donor outreach and coaching positions at TCU and are familiar with mentoring others, motivating teams, and enhancing performance on an individual level. We’re anxious to have them begin in these roles, where they can both channel their competitive nature and apply it to Valor’s workforce and our growing roster of clients.”
Hanna Howard will serve as the organization’s chief of staff. A lifelong coach, she’ll help direct project management, communications, and strategic planning for the company’s future.
