Metromile hired a veteran venture capitalist as its chief marketing officer. Marsh made a few senior leadership appointments within its Property and Financial and Professional Liability Practices.

Metromile hired Sunil Rajaraman as its chief marketing officer.
Rajaraman leads teams responsible for bringing the pay-per-mile car insurance startup’s experience and savings to more drivers and sharing the company’s vision for fairer and modern insurance.
The insurance company recently created fractional insurance to reduce the cost of car ownership to support the growing popularity of the shared mobility industry. Metromile’s fractional insurance can help drivers save money by preventing the need to “double-up” on insurance coverage when their car is rented on a shared car marketplace.
Before Metromile, Rajaraman was an entrepreneur-in-residence at Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm Foundation Capital, where he advised startups on go-to-market strategies. He previously founded Scripted.com, a marketplace for businesses to hire writers, where he was CEO, and Radiance Labs, which helped companies communicate and retain their customers. Sunil has also run The Bold Italic, a San Francisco-focused publication, which he later sold to Medium, and led marketing at HR software company Replicon.
