John Jacaman is a serial entrepreneur with more than three decades of operating, investing, and infrastructure-development experience. His career has been defined by a consistent pattern — identifying fragmented, capital-heavy markets and applying software-defined discipline to industries that have historically resisted it.
His career began rebuilding and exporting heavy equipment into Mexico in partnership with family operations, where he has been a personal investor in real estate and oil and gas for decades. He led the development of Jacaman Ranch — a 1,400-acre master-planned mixed-use community in north Laredo adjacent to Laredo International Airport. He secured the financing, originated millions of dollars in construction loans, and exited the multi-use development for over $50 million at a sale that achieved record pricing in the market.
In media, John negotiated a global licensing partnership with the World Boxing Council to launch WBC Live, a 24/7 boxing channel broadcasting fights worldwide. That experience led him to launch VIVE Network, a global Ultra-HD streaming platform with technology partnerships across Globecast (Orange Group subsidiary) and Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT). VIVE has since evolved into Symphonē, a cloud-native live-production platform anchored by a strategic partnership with RED Digital Cinema (a Nikon company) — the standard-setter in premium digital cinema since 2007.
John founded GeoTex Energy in 2025 to apply the same infrastructure-platform discipline to the fragmented Texas private energy market — bringing software-defined regulatory infrastructure through SEC-registered ATS and FINRA-regulated rails to bear on an asset class that has been historically underserved by modern capital-markets technology.
Mike Rollins is a Professional Engineer licensed in Oklahoma (license #35515, Active, no enforcement actions) with more than 40 years of operating experience in independent oil and gas. He served as Vice President of Engineering across six NGP-funded portfolio companies, all of which were successfully exited, including the Crow Creek Energy series and the Bravo Natural Resources series.
Two of these transactions are publicly documented in SEC filings:
"Mike's career is a working blueprint for the exact playbook GeoTex is proposing — small-team E&P, multi-basin acquisitions, exit to public-market buyers."
Mike's technical experience covers reservoir engineering, drilling and completions, production optimization, and reserves evaluation across the Anadarko, Arkoma, Woodford, and Barnett basins. His active relationships extend into the current NGP-portfolio orbit including Blackbeard Operating — based in Fort Worth, Texas, one mile from GeoTex's registered address — which divested 90,000 net Arkoma acres in May 2025. That network is not historical; it is current.
License verification is publicly available through the Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Mike is an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (Fort Worth Section).
Duncan Campbell leads GeoTex's business development, customer relationships, and strategic partnerships. A senior media and content-distribution executive with 25+ years of experience, Duncan is a four-time Emmy nominee and National CableACE Award winner whose career spans broadcast production, interactive television, OTT and connected-TV platforms, and financial media.
He held senior leadership roles at Investor's Business Daily, where he led video strategy, content production, and partnership development through IBD's 2021 acquisition by Dow Jones / News Corp for $275 million — building distribution and licensing relationships with Apple News, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, Nasdaq, and major connected-TV platforms.
"The same partnership-architecture and customer-management muscle that built distribution relationships at Apple, Bloomberg, and Nasdaq now drives GeoTex's outreach to family offices, capital groups, and acquisition buyers."
Earlier in his career, he served as VP of Interactive Television and Content Group at Trailer Park Group, with prior work commercializing interactive-television platform technology at Goldpocket Interactive (acquired by Tandberg Television, subsequently acquired by Ericsson).
Duncan is also Head of Business Development & Customer Management at Symphonē, the cloud-native live-production platform launching in parallel with GeoTex. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Duke University.
Verifiable institutional credentials at every seat. Public-record exits. Active professional licensure. Direct prior execution of the playbook GeoTex now applies to Texas private energy.The GeoTex Cap Table · Designed Deliberately
Every credential below is independently verifiable. Six NGP-portfolio exits, two SEC-documented public-market acquisitions, multiple licensed credentials, and Emmy-nominated partnership work spanning $275M of public-market acquisition activity.
Every seat at the table is held by a partner with verifiable institutional credentials, documented track record, and direct prior execution of the model GeoTex now applies to Texas private energy. That assembly has four direct consequences for the clients we work with.
Reservoir, reserves, and economic work is delivered by a licensed professional engineer with 40+ years of NGP portfolio-company experience. The technical work product is bank-grade — built to support capital decisions, lender underwriting, and acquisition diligence.
Conventional energy consulting firms put senior partners on the sales call and junior staff on the work. GeoTex partners do the work. Every engagement carries credentials normally reserved for late-stage firms — at the rate structure of a focused boutique.
The team's relationships extend across NGP-funded operators, regulated capital-markets infrastructure, and senior business-development networks built through a $275M public-market acquisition. Clients gain visibility into capital channels most boutiques cannot offer.
The same team that delivers reservoir engineering today also operates the acquisition strategy of Phase 2 and the tokenized-debt product roadmap of Phase 3. Clients work with the same people across every stage of the platform.
