Jerry Antoine

President and CEO

After graduating from Northeastern University at the age of 17 years old with the first of two bachelor’s degrees, Mr. Antoine became one of the pioneers of PCB CAD.  He created, among others, the first computer-driven schematic capture package, the first design-rule-checking software, and many other innovative tools and processes that helped propel Data General Corporation to its position as one of the two leading minicomputer companies in the world.  Later, at ComputerVision and at Apollo Computer he worked to commercialize PCB CAD software.  In 1985 he founded Continuity Software that later became GCA Technology.  As President, he has driven GCA to achieve and maintain its position as technical leader in the field of highly reliable, high-performance processes and software algorithms.
