PRESIDENT
Leslie Tipping is the founder and President of Tipping Mineral Management. She built TMM to give mineral owners the depth of an institutional mineral management team without a bank wrapped around it - running title, verifying every division order and royalty payment, negotiating leases, and managing minerals held in estates, trusts, LLCs, and by individuals and families.
Her career in oil and gas spans more than twenty years. She entered the industry as a landman and went on to run a crew providing complete land services to large oil and gas companies operating across Oklahoma and Texas, then moved to the institutional side, first as Regional Director of Mineral Management at JPMorgan Chase Bank and then for ten years as Head of Oil, Gas and Mineral Management at The Northern Trust Company. Before oil and gas, she worked in probate and estate planning in Houston and Dallas - a background that still shapes how she approaches minerals held in trust.
Leslie was named to the D CEO Top 500 in 2026 and serves on the Board of Directors of the Dallas Winds and KidLinks.
