Geensoft, a company focusing on the provision of software design tools and associated professional services for embedded systems development, has been created by a management buy-out (MBO) of the former embedded design tools business of Geensys. The MBO has been led by former Geensys executives Eliane Fourgeau, Thierry Gueguen and Marc Frouin.

Geensoft will be headed by an executive management team that includes Thierry Gueguen as CTO, Michel Hagege as VP of Worldwide Sales and Eliane Fourgeau as CEO. Marc Frouin, Geensys’ former President, will head Geensoft’s new Supervisory Board. Geensoft’s product portfolio includes the Reqtify, ControlBuild and AUTOSAR Builder tool suites as well as the RT-Builder system simulation tool.

To be headquartered in Brest (France), Geensoft will continue to operate on a global basis with R&D and sales offices in France (Paris, Brest and Nancy) along with sales offices in Germany (Munich) and Japan (Yokohama) supported by a network of distributors, value-added integrators and OEMs throughout Europe, North America and Asia.

All of the former Geensys personnel responsible for the development, sales and support of the Geensoft product portfolio and associated services have transitioned to Geensoft.
