Greig to step down as GMHBA CEO

Following five years in the job, David Greig has today (Wednesday, 4 March) made the decision to step down as chief executive officer (CEO) of local private health insurer GMHBA.

Greig will relinquish the top role in the second half of this year after helping to significantly grow the business and create benefits for GMHBA’s members.

During his tenure, Greig led an organisation-wide transformation program that enhanced products, digital experience, core technology and organisation capability.

GMHBA increased health insurance sales by 218 per cent, expanded its workforce from 400 to 540 employees, grew net assets by 91 per cent and improved health service revenue by 36 per cent.

The insurer also won Canstar Awards for four consecutive years and received Employer of Choice Award from the Geelong Chamber of Commerce at the Geelong Business Awards.

The outgoing CEO said GMHBA was in a strong position moving forward with a clear strategy and passionate team.

“It has been a genuine privilege to lead GMHBA and to serve our members.

“I want to sincerely thank our members for the trust they have placed in me and in our organisation. That trust is something we never take for granted.

“I am confident there is even more positive momentum ahead for our members and the communities we serve.”

Board chair Claire Higgins thanked Greig for his significant contribution.

“Over the past five years, David has led this organisation with conviction, generosity of spirit and a deep commitment to our purpose,” she said.

“Under his leadership, we have strengthened our foundations, navigated periods of significant change, and continued to deliver for our members and patients.

“We are immensely grateful for the contribution David has made, the culture he has shaped, and the legacy he leaves behind.”

Greig will remain as CEO until the board concludes a process to appoint a successor.
