Darryl Rawlings

Each day, Darryl leads more than 500 pet-loving professionals in the U.S. and Canada to one shared purpose and a singular goal: to help the pets people love receive the best veterinary care. It’s the passion driving everything the people do, enabling dogs and cats to lead long, healthy and happy lives.

Darryl has established himself as a leader in medical insurance for cats and dogs. As founder and chief executive officer of Trupanion and founder and member of NAPHIA, Darryl is setting high standards for a growing industry, expanding public awareness of medical insurance for cats and dogs, and expanding the market across North America.

His passion for pet health runs deep. When he was 14, his family dog needed surgery that could have lengthened her life for another 12 years. The cost was beyond his parents’ means and they left the veterinary hospital without her. He vowed that someday pets would have even better medical insurance than people do. And Trupanion has fulfilled that promise with medical insurance for cats and dogs that is remarkably better than most human health insurance.

Trupanion covered its first pet in Canada in 2000 and expanded to the United States in 2008. Since expanding to the U.S., Trupanion has established itself as a market leader and now provides medical insurance for cats and dogs in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. In July 2014, Darryl took this a step further, and lead the company through an IPO. Trupanion is publicly traded on NASDAQ.

Under his leadership, the company continues to experience consistent growth, with revenue growth in excess of 25% in each of the past 39 quarters. Trupanion now covers more than 350,000 pets.

Darryl is a graduate of the British Columbia Institute of Technology. His family includes his wife Caroline, two sons Sam and Bennet, bulldogs Tristen and Priscilla, cat Halle and bird Q.
