REI Super chief executive steps down

REI Super has announced its chief executive Jarrod Coysh will be leaving the fund in September 2026.

Coysh will be taking up the role of chief executive at GMHBA, the profit-to-member private health insurer.

The REI Super board said it has commenced an external search process, which will include both internal and external candidates.

REI Super chair Geoff Peck recognised Coysh's significant achievements while leading the fund.

"As chief executive, Jarrod has made a significant contribution to the fund over the past seven years. Over this time, working with the board and his executive team, Jarrod has focused on delivering an expansion of services to members and employers, enhanced the member experience, driven a significant increase in funds under management and member growth, while focusing on the execution of sustainable outcomes for the fund, including the transition of our custodian and our administrator," Peck said.

"The board would like to reassure members and employers that there will be no disruption to services and the fund's operations, and member support will continue seamlessly through this transition."

"On behalf of the board and fund staff, we thank Jarrod for his service and wish him the best in his next role."

Commenting on his departure, Coysh said he was proud of his time leading the fund.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at REI Super and am incredibly proud of what we've achieved together as a team, with a strong and unwavering focus on putting our members first," Coysh said.

"I leave knowing the fund is in great shape, and I sincerely thank the board of trustees, the executive team, and everyone in the trustee office for building such a strong culture and making REI Super a truly terrific place to work."
