Colorado, Denver, USA:  MetaRouter, a leading provider of enterprise-grade customer data infrastructure based in Denver, Colorado, has announced Nikhil Raj as its new Chief Executive Officer. Raj, who has been serving as MetaRouter’s President, takes over from co-founder Tim Brunk. This leadership change comes at a critical moment as the company aims to support enterprises in navigating AI-driven transformations through secure and scalable data solutions.

MetaRouter helps organizations collect and distribute consumer data in a privacy-compliant and consented manner within their private cloud, enabling marketing teams to access real-time insights while ensuring full regulatory compliance. With the rise of media divisions among retailers and consumer brands, the platform delivers essential consented user data that fuels marketing initiatives and AI applications.

Raj brings over 20 years of expertise in retail media, data, and consumer technology. He co-founded Walmart’s advertising division WMX (currently Walmart Connect), initiated the global retail media practice at Bain, and provided strategic advice to major private equity firms on adtech acquisitions. During his tenure at Moloco, he scaled the commerce media business from Korea to a global operation covering North America, APAC, and Europe.

“The team at MetaRouter has cultivated an outstanding culture and built strong relationships with some of the world’s largest enterprise clients,” Raj said. “MetaRouter has empowered several Fortune 100 companies to take command of their customer data. It’s an honor to collaborate with Tim and the team as we elevate MetaRouter to the next stage of growth.”

Brunk, who co-founded MetaRouter alongside Greg Brunk, Andrew Murray, Michael Yeager, and Roxana Cristea, will continue in a founder capacity. He emphasized that Raj’s professional journey closely mirrors the company’s mission. “Choosing Nikhil as CEO was an easy decision when we considered how to maximize our success as we scale. His experiences at Walmart, Bain, and Moloco have shaped our approach to building secure data infrastructure. His work even served as a case study for us before we officially met him. Nikhil’s expertise is integral to MetaRouter’s vision for helping enterprises fully leverage their data.”
