About his early life nothing is known. Applies only as certain that he was born in Amsterdam. It was in 1599 as a merchant and shipowner co-founder and chairman of the Nieuwe ( New ), or Brabantsche Compagnie ( Brabantsche company ), which passed into the Verenigde Compagnie van Amsterdam (United Kompagnie of Amsterdam) in 1600, which in turn in 1602 in the Dutch East India Company ( Vereenigde Dutch East India Company, VOC) went over.
In 1613, he became the second Governor - General of the Dutch East Indies, and traveled with nine ships there. After the trip, he took over the regime of Pieter Both. The trip itself lasted one and a half years. On the way he made trips into the Red Sea, to start trade agreement with the Arabs. A year after his arrival in the colony, Gerard Reynst died of dysentery, so he could not do much other than minor but successful activities. It is probably due to many statements that he could be been out on profits and exploitation of the indigenous people.
