Mobility Insurance Platform DigiSure Hires Jill Federico and Trudi Fenster as Peer-to-Peer and Micromobility Markets Heat Up

San Francisco, CA (October 21, 2021) -- DigiSure, the first company to screen and underwrite simultaneously using AI and Machine Learning, today announced two new hires to scale and meet demand as peer-to-peer and micromobility marketplaces surge. This leadership expansion comes on the heels of launching out of stealth and announcing a $13.1M pre-Series A funding round.  

Jill Federico, Insurance Programs Director, brings over 20 years of experience working with traditional insurance brokerages and insurtech companies as Principal at Newfront Insurance, Insurance Development Manager at KeepTruckin and Vice President of Insurance Programs at REIN. In her new role, Federico will focus on helping DigiSure reshape the insurance sector by cutting costs, improving the quality of insurance services and creating more stable business models.

“DigiSure has a unique approach to insurance in its commitment to embracing a digital-first solution in an industry that has traditionally relied on antiquated methods and has been ill-equipped to handle emerging mobility marketplace demands,” said Federico. “I was drawn to DigiSure’s advanced insurance solution that solves major pain points for businesses in the micromobility and shared economy marketplaces and was built to support on-demand checkout and provide customized real-time pricing.”

Trudi Fenster, Head of Customer Success, brings 25 years of experience in scaling customer success teams at startups and well-established organizations, including BlueVolt, Bentley Systems and AskNicely. Fenster is responsible for strengthening deep customer relationships and ensuring DigiSure has the resources and data needed to support its customers and provide them with the highest trust and safety standards through its Protection Suite. 

“Customer Success is a blend of philosophy, operations and relationships that starts with a company’s employees. DigiSure already has a customer-centric culture and a strong base in supporting and delivering value to its customers,” said Fenster. “I look forward to applying my many years of experience leading customer success and my passion for growing and scaling organizations to help DigiSure’s customers achieve their desired outcomes.” 

While the mobility industry came to a near-screeching halt during the COVID-19 pandemic, the marketplace is picking up, with micromobility services now above pre-COVID-19 levels. As the first company to go beyond credit score and driving history to provide personalized insurance policies for mobility and shared economy businesses, DigiSure is helping all parties involved -- merchant and peer-to-peer vehicle rental business operators -- so that everyone is protected at the best rate possible. 

“Expansion of our team continues to be necessary to meet the rapidly growing mobility and shared economy marketplace and amid increased demand for our proprietary Protection Suite and underwriting technology,” said Mike Shim, DigiSure co-founder and CEO. “Our fully remote and diverse team currently works across 16 cities, six countries and three continents, and I’m thrilled to welcome Jill and Trudi as we continue to expand into new market segments across the U.S. and Europe.”
