I would be nervous--but for our SECRET WEAPON.

JOHN LABONTY

If you read his bio, if anyone can turn it around, he can.
Read about His exploits with smashbox Europe.
On the night of their launch in 1998, a Smashbox PR was allegedly drugged and raped by someone thought to be a friend of the Factors.

No one was charged, however, many beauty editors avoided Smashbox and gave it very little coverage. With the beauty industry turning its back on the brand, it struggled to make its mark.
In 2006, John Labonty joined Smashbox Cosmetics as Vice President/General Manager of the International Division where he led an aggressive expansion of the business.

John Labonty turned this around. I believe he will turn Boldface Group around also.
