San Francisco, CA — [January 12th, 2026] — Prophia, the leading AI-powered platform for commercial real estate data and document intelligence, today announced the appointment of Thomas Byrne to its Board of Directors. Byrne, a widely respected proptech executive and advisor, brings more than two decades of experience scaling category-defining platforms across commercial real estate.
Byrne currently serves as Board Member and Executive Director at Dealpath, where he plays a role in shaping strategy and growth initiatives. Byrne also is an active investor and advisor to numerous leading and high growth proptech organizations.
Most recently, Byrne held senior executive positions at VTS, where he served as General Manager of Marketplaces and VTS Market. In that role, he led the development and launch of the VTS Market platform and oversaw the suite of marketing solutions stemming from the VTS acquisition of PropertyCapsule, where Byrne had served as CEO.
Earlier in his career, Byrne spent a decade at LoopNet where he served as President and Chief Operating Officer, helping to scale the company into one of the most successful venture backed proptech companies and profitable businesses on the Nasdaq. His leadership contributed to LoopNet’s strategic acquisition by CoStar in 2012 for $900 million—one of the most notable transactions in proptech history.
In addition to his operating experience, Byrne has held board and advisory positions with leading industry innovators including Homesnap, CrowdStreet, Rentlytics, and DotLoop, and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS from Georgia Tech.
“Tom is one of the most experienced and trusted operators in proptech, and his perspective will be invaluable as Prophia accelerates its next phase of growth,” said Cameron Steele, CEO of Prophia. “His track record of building—and scaling—category-defining platforms aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver the most reliable data foundation in commercial real estate.”
“Prophia has solved one of the hardest problems in commercial real estate: transforming decades of unstructured lease data into accurate, actionable intelligence,” said Byrne. “I’m thrilled to join the Prophia board as the company continues to expand its footprint with exceptional CRE firms and unlock opportunities for owners, operators, and capital markets leaders.”
The appointment underscores Prophia’s continued momentum as the company scales its platform, expands into new product categories, and strengthens its position as the trusted source of truth for CRE data.
