About Simon Leroux
I’m a serial entrepreneur in Artificial Intelligence, having sold my last startup, Gazelle.ai, to the private equity fund KKR before joining Inovia Capital as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence. It was during my time at Inovia that the idea for Optionality was born—a Generative AI co-pilot transforming the M&A and financing industry by redefining the role of trusted advisors.Optionality empowers advisors with AI-driven tools to assess business value, accelerate the M&A and financing process, and win more deals. Backed by Inovia Capital, Optionality builds on my previous experience at Gazelle.ai, where we leveraged AI and big data to identify high-growth companies, leading to its acquisition by KKR and integration into Lightcast, a global leader in labor market analytics.I began my career in the private sector at Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) where I held senior management positions in business strategy, sales and marketing. As part of a special task force at McKinsey & Company, I developed a predictive, algorithm-based model that was used for advanced market segmentation and targeting strategies. For that work, I received BCE's Ovation Award, the company's highest honour. In 2009, I became an owner and partner at ROI Research on Investment, a management consulting firm specializing in business development and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) where the idea of Gazelle originated
