Scope strengthens Board of Directors with Viktor Giacobbo, Jürg Stuker and Andreas Von Gunten
Scope Content has expanded its board of directors. The company's annual general meeting elected three prominent figures—Viktor Giacobbo, Jürg Stuker, and Andreas Von Gunten—to the board; all three will also become shareholders.
Viktor Giacobbo is an entrepreneur, filmmaker and comedian and was until recently on Swiss television with the late-night show "Giacobbo Müller". He is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Casino Theater Winterthur and a member of the Board of Directors of book publisher Kein & Aber. He has been successfully involved with Scope for two years as curator of the "Random Selection" box.
Jürg Stuker has been a partner since 1999 and was until recently CEO of Namics, Switzerland's largest digital agency, which grew to around 500 employees at six locations in Switzerland, Germany and Serbia during his tenure. He has been regarded as one of the most important Swiss Internet pioneers for many years.
Andreas Von Gunten has been an Internet entrepreneur from the very beginning, is currently active with his company Buch & Netz, and most recently chaired the Salesforce integrator PARX, which he founded and employs 80 people. On Sunday, he was also elected to the municipal council (executive) of his home municipality of Kölliken in Aargau.
Jürg Bachmann, Head of Communications and Public Affairs at the Goldbach Group, is stepping down from the Board of Directors after around four years of service.
Scope majority shareholder Peter Hogenkamp is very pleased about the new expertise on the Board of Directors: "In an increasingly confusing media landscape, our approach of curation by people creates added value for companies and organizations to communicate with their customers, employees or members. With the new minds and skills on the Board of Directors, we will further accelerate our growth in the B2B business."
