Russell Tidaback
Founder
Russell Tidaback is the founder of GMxVault, a mineral-collateral documentation and verification platform established to support institutional-grade lending, risk management, and asset-backed finance.
GMxVault was initially conceptualized and formed to address longstanding gaps in mineral reserve documentation, regulatory verification, and audit-ready collateral support for regulated financial institutions. The architecture reflects early design principles centered on conservative compliance, verifiable data standards, and long-horizon asset stewardship.
Mr. Tidaback’s prior professional background includes experience across mineral operations, subsurface asset documentation, asset structuring, and regulatory exposure involving federal and state oversight frameworks. This background informed the formation and positioning of GMxVault as documentation infrastructure rather than an extraction operator, trading venue, or investment product.
During its formation phase, GMxVault was structured to emphasize institutional accountability, separation of operational risk from asset ownership, and governance models suitable for regulated counterparties.
Mr. Tidaback is a U.S. military veteran.
