Jim King- CEO
James M. King is the founder and CEO of IPRO Tech, Inc.  During the last 20 years, Mr. King has been involved in numerous technological innovations in the litigation industry and has enjoyed many rich associations with legal professionals worldwide.  Mr. King's focus on technology, which has involved many high visible large complex litigation's in product liability, health care, finance, bankruptcy, SEC, FTC, and construction, continues to keep him keenly interested and engaged in the legal software niche.
In the years prior to IPRO, King founded and co-founded three other software companies: CIS, a software company developing enterprise applications to the publishing industry; Bankline Systems, a software company delivering enterprise applications to financial institutions under 1 billion dollars in capitalization; and Tactical Data, a software company providing election forecasting software to U.S. Senate hopefuls and incumbents.  These companies, though successful, were unable to keep his attention and interest as long and to the extent of his involvement in IPRO.  Mr. King regards IPRO employees and its valued customers as a very large extension of his family.
