Since launching out of stealth in May 2018 – with patented, disruptive
technology allowing employees and guests to unlock the doors with their
smartphones – Openpath has been quickly embraced by the commercial real
estate industry nationwide. The winning combination of Openpath’s Triple
Unlock technology and Touch access feature has resulted in 94% mobile
adoption – a previously unattainable rate for mobile access
solutions who normally score 2-3%. Furthermore, Openpath announced a $20
million Series B and expanded its core product line with the Mullion
Smart Reader and Elevator Board. With such high demand for the product
portfolio that now spans parking garages, doors, turnstiles and
elevators, the company has since doubled its manufacturing
capacity.
As a result of such rapid success, Openpath has won industry-leading
customers, like Domino’s Pizza franchises, which are using Openpath’s
technology across the U.S., giving store owners and employees a more
secure and convenient method to access their building. Click

owners are using Openpath’s solution.
James Segil, Openpath’s co-founder and President, said: “Openpath is the
only company to provide both ultimate reliability and convenient
usability in a single, comprehensive access control system. We have a
unique opportunity to brand what has historically been a commoditized
product. With Kieran onboard, his ability to highlight key aspects of a
brand’s identity, such as Openpath’s superior user experience, will
secure Openpath’s place as the first access control solution people ask
for by name. We are improving the workday experience for people and
establishing an emotional connection with our brand. Kieran understands
this better than anyone and can tap into the sentiment to cement our
place as a thought leader in this market.”
Hannon added: “I was drawn to Openpath’s commitment to solving one of
the most pervasive challenges in the modern office – smart, convenient,
safe workplace security. The team at Openpath has created a thoughtful,
all-encompassing approach to mobile
access control that puts the user first. Openpath’s dedication to
providing its customers with the best user experience, without
compromising best-in-class safety standards, is much admired. This
inspired me to join a proven, highly successful founding team in
creating the compelling global brand for the modern workforce.”
Kieran joins Openpath during a time of rapid expansion. The company is
continuing to build out its national footprint with offices and sales
representatives from coast to coast, and has grown its team 125% over
the past year. Openpath also recently relocated to a new Culver City
headquarters that is more than double the size of its old office,
complete with a showroom built to demonstrate what the future of work
looks like.
