Energy infrastructure company, Jemena, has announced that it has appointed a new Group CFO, who will commence in the role in February 2024.
Kate Webster has been appointed to the role and will be assuming CFO responsibilities for both Jemena and Zinfra.
Jemena’s Managing Director, David Gillespie, said that Ms Webster brings a wealth of energy and utility sector experience to the role.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kate to the Jemena team and are confident she is a natural fit for our Group and will make a strong contribution to the business,” Mr Gillespie said.
“Kate has an impressive understanding of not only the energy sector, but the challenges it faces – particularly in a financial context – as we work towards delivering on our net zero ambitions.”
Mr Gillespie said that Ms Webster has worked in the energy sector in a range of in-house and consulting roles since 2001, and that she also has a deep understanding of ESG frameworks in a financial context.
“Throughout her career Kate has held several roles including most recently as CFO and co-CFO for a number of Australian-based energy infrastructure businesses.
“In these roles she has overseen several successful capital raising programs. Kate’s experience also includes international positions in the energy sector, notably in the United Kingdom.”
