Vistra board chair Simon Hinshelwood said: “Vistra has grown exponentially over the past seven years, both organically and through strategic M&A, and has transformed into a truly global platform and enterprise.

“Alan Brown (our outgoing CEO) leaves us with the thanks of the Board for his significant role in this transformation.

“He has also been at the forefront of our journey to become the pre-eminent global player in our industry with a resilient, scalable, enterprise-wide technology platform that delivers expert services to organisations and enterprises operating across multiple jurisdictions.”
