CEO of Lawson Software Harry Debes joined the company 2005. Since then, he has expanded its enterprise resource planning software and services vendor’s revenues from $350 million to $850 million. In addition, he supervised the sale of Lawson Software to Infor in 2011. He has been described by Tim Franks – Advent Managing Director and the head of the firm’s New York office – as being “one of the software industry’s most experienced leaders. He has a thorough understanding of how to grow a software business and achieve bottom line results. That knowledge, along with his experience in more than 30 acquisitions, complements Advent’s approach to value creation.”
