Fred Blumer is a visionary CEO & Co-Founder at Mile Auto, Inc., a pioneering insurtech company transforming how low-mileage drivers purchase auto insurance. At the helm of Mile Auto, Fred leads the development of innovative pay-per-mile auto insurance solutions that leverage patented computer vision and machine learning technologies — enabling fair, transparent pricing based solely on actual miles driven without intrusive hardware or GPS tracking.
Under Fred’s leadership, Mile Auto has reimagined traditional auto insurance models by focusing on simplicity and fairness for drivers who rarely hit the road. As part of this vision, he also co-founded and serves as CEO of Porsche Auto Insurance, a bespoke offering tailored for Porsche drivers through a strategic collaboration with Porsche Financial Services.
Before launching Mile Auto, Fred co-founded Hughes Telematics, Inc., where he helped develop advanced telematics systems and usage-based insurance solutions for automotive OEMs like Mercedes-Benz and major insurers such as State Farm. Hughes Telematics was ultimately acquired by Verizon, and Fred’s work there included co-creating the Hum® connected car platform. He is an accomplished inventor with more than 10 utility patents in connected vehicle data and auto insurance systems, underscoring his deep technical and strategic expertise in the intersection of transportation and insurance technology.
Fred’s leadership in insurtech has made him a sought-after speaker at industry events, and he continues to advocate for customer-centric, data-efficient insurance solutions that respect consumer privacy while addressing real market needs. His career blends entrepreneurial drive with technical innovation, positioning Mile Auto as a standout player in pay-per-mile insurance and the broader automotive insurance landscape.
