Mr Coppin is an experienced director, active early stage investor and venture fund manager who has considerable experience with technology start-ups, turnarounds and high growth companies.

He is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD), a Master Stockbroker (MSAFAA) and the holder of an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL).

Jayride Chairman Andrey Shirben said Mr Coppin’s appointment follows the resignation of former board member Jamila Gordon due to other commitments.

Mr Coppin joins a fast-growing company with a global footprint.

“It’s great to be involved with an exceptional Australian technology company and I look forward to being part of Jayride’s strategic growth and development as we enhance transport options and functionality for business and family travellers the world over,” Mr Coppin commented.
