Jenkins previously served as group CEO of Tricor and following its merger with Vistra, became chief operating officer in January 2024. Having integrated the two businesses, the company said it is now in the next phase of its operating cycle and her expertise in delivery, client excellence and innovation will be invaluable as she leads Vistra through its growth journey. She will be based in Australia.

Her career spans financial services, technology, and data, with leadership roles across Africa, Australia, India, and Europe. Her previous experience includes serving as group COO of SAI Global and CEO of its property and assurance divisions.

“On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Simon for his leadership in bringing Vistra and Tricor together, and for establishing the strategy and plan to deliver on our ambitions. The board is committed to accelerating the execution of this strategy under Kim’s leadership,” Dominique Cerutti, chairman, said. “Having worked with Kim closely over the past few years, the board is impressed by Kim’s results-oriented approach, her ability to drive change at speed, and her strength in leading a high performing leadership team capable of accelerating growth and delivering value for all our stakeholders.”

“It has been a privilege to lead Vistra. We have made real progress, and I am proud of what we have achieved,” Webster said.

“As CEO of Vistra, I look forward to working with our leadership team and all Vistra colleagues to build on the strong foundations that Simon has laid, and to lead Vistra to the next level,” Jenkins said. “Our focus will be on propelling Vistra to an industry-leading position and continuing to support our clients across the globe with their own growth journeys, providing deep expertise with corporate and fund solutions that make operating a global business feel seamless and borderless.”

Vistra operates in more than 50 jurisdictions across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.
