The appointments, led by Lou Taylor, Tri Star’s Chief Executive Officer and Founder, mark one of the only all-female executive leadership teams within the business management and entertainment finance sectors, industries in which women make up fewer than 20 percent of C-suite positions nationally.
“This is not an optics decision – it’s about excellence and equity. Peggy, Heather and Deedra embody the values that Tri Star was built upon: integrity, precision and service. Equity has been long overdue in our field, and this team is proof of what’s possible when fairness and opportunity are prioritized,” said Taylor.
The new leadership team brings expertise across operational strategy, finance, and organizational leadership. Stephens has overseen operations and client service improvements at the firm’s offices in West Hollywood, California, and Nashville, Tennessee. Kinder has led internal development initiatives, advancing team performance and client engagement. Carroll manages operations, systems, and risk, ensuring continued infrastructure growth across the organization.
“Equity is not just a goal here, it’s a practice that shapes how we lead and serve. Our leadership team reflects the values we live by – collaboration, integrity, and excellence. I could not be more proud to be one of the women leading an organization that is one of the most trusted firms in entertainment and finance,” said Kinder.
Tri Star specializes in business management and financial advisory services for artists, athletes, executives, and entrepreneurs. The company provides strategic planning, wealth management, touring infrastructure, and long-term legacy guidance for clients across the entertainment, sports, and media sectors.
