Professional Journey
King’s career before Openprise was in product management and product marketing for enterprise infrastructure and security software. When Vordel hired him in May 2011 as vice-president of product marketing for its new West Coast office, the announcement called him a 20-year veteran of the technology sector. His most recent job had been vice-president of product management at Qualys. Before that he held global product marketing and management positions at Agiliance and worked at Thor Technologies, which became part of Oracle, and at Jamcracker. At Vordel he was responsible for product marketing strategy and for building alliances with industry partners.
Openprise was incorporated in Delaware in 2013 and filed its first Form D notice in 2017, when it was based in Redwood City. King was named as its executive officer and a director. Its product is a cloud platform that lets go-to-market teams manage customer data and automate workflows without writing code. It later positioned the product as revenue operations data automation and, more recently, as an AI and data orchestration platform for go-to-market teams. Mario Lim is co-founder and chief technology officer.
The company moved to San Mateo. A 2021 Form D reported a raise of about $15.8 million. In March 2024 it announced a $25 million Series B led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, naming Adobe, Broadcom, Nutanix, Rippling, Rockwell, Russell Reynolds and Splunk among its customers.
On 17 August 2026 Openprise announced John Narbaitz, a former Openprise customer with more than 20 years of experience scaling SaaS companies, as its CEO. King stayed on as Founder and Chief Product Officer. In the announcement he said bringing in Narbaitz was an investment in the company’s future and that his experience as a customer meant he already knew what customers expect.
