Valor Takes Home Two 2025 Stevie® Awards for Remarkable Achievements

On May 7, 2025, Valor, a Fort Worth-based professional services company that blends technology with oil and gas asset management, celebrated a notable achievement with two important awards at the 2025 American Business Awards®. The company's CEO and co-founder, Joseph DeWoody, was honored with a Gold Stevie® Award for Best Entrepreneur in Financial Services, highlighting his leadership and vision in transforming the industry. In addition, Valor itself won a Bronze Stevie® Award for Company of the Year in the Small Financial Services category. This marks a significant recognition for Valor as it is now the second time the company has been acknowledged in this prestigious awards program.

In his acceptance speech, DeWoody emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving these awards. He noted, "These recognitions are a reflection of the incredible team behind Valor and the work we've done to transform oil and gas asset management through service and technology. I'm honored to be recognized individually, but even more proud of what our company has achieved as a team. These awards motivate us to continue innovating on behalf of our clients and delivering forward-thinking solutions."
