Subramanian co-founded Seattle real estate startup Pro.com, which was acquired by Opendoor last year. She was most recently head of platform at Opendoor.
Ian Wong, Opendoor’s current CTO and co-founder, will transition to technical advisor to the CEO.

Opendoor has enabled more than 200,000 customer transactions and now operates in more than 50 markets.

Founded in 2014, Opendoor went public in 2020 and reported revenue of $8 billion in 2021, up from $2.6 billion the year before.
