FORT WORTH, TX (Jan. 22, 2025) – Valor, a Fort Worth-based oil and gas asset management provider specializing in mineral management and back-office solutions, is thrilled to announce the hiring of Paige Nerios as Director, IT Governance & Project Management. Nerios brings over a decade of program management expertise, having successfully led large-scale technology and capital projects ranging from $2 million to $15 million. Her background in driving key initiatives for prominent clients like Oxy, NRG, Title Resources Group, and Liberator Medical Supply positions her uniquely to steer Valor’s technological and operational strategies.
“We are thrilled to welcome Paige to our team,” said Joseph DeWoody, CEO & Co-founder of Valor. “Her expertise in program management and IT governance will be invaluable as we build on the strong foundation laid by Pam Presswood, whose guidance has been instrumental to our success. We are deeply grateful to Pam and wish her the best in her retirement.”
Pam Presswood, Valor’s current Chief Information Officer, will be retiring in Q1 2025 after an impactful tenure. Joining Valor in 2022, Presswood left retirement to serve as CIO, where she played a pivotal role in developing the technology infrastructure to support the company’s rapid growth. Her efforts ensured that IT systems and processes were well-positioned to meet evolving business demands. Presswood was recently named a finalist in the D CEO’s 2025 Innovation Awards in the individual awards category – CIO/CTO of the Year, a recognition of her exceptional contributions and leadership in the field.
