Antoine Leboyer and GSX
By: Richard S. Ruback and Royce Yudkoff
Abstract
Antoine Leboyer (HBS '92) acquired the Swiss-based software company GSX in February 2008. He managed through the recession of 2008–2009, dealt with a tumultuous separation from the founder/owner, rebuilt the management team, and upgraded the company's software development. By mid-2012 Leboyer believed GSX was positioned to invest in product development. His investment partner, however, wanted the company to focus on increasing profitability and cash flows.
