Digital agency jkweb continues its growth course
After acquiring the Bern-based software company novu in the fall of 2022, jkweb is continuing its growth strategy by appointing Gerry Giacomini as its new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In the newly created position, Gerry Giacomini will play a central role in the strategic direction of the up-and-coming digital agency.
Founded in 2011 by two ETH students and based in the Zurich, Basel and Bern area, Software-Schmiede creates individual web, software, e-commerce and app solutions for customers from all over Switzerland. The agency combines state-of-the-art technologies and innovative design. Since its founding, jkweb has grown steadily and today employs nearly 70 people with diverse backgrounds. The newly created position and the appointment of Gerry Giacomini as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) are part of the digital agency's growth plans.
Pascal Josephy, Managing Partner and founder of jkweb, comments: "Our agency has grown to a considerable size since 2011. We are therefore all the more pleased that, after a long recruitment phase, we have found the ideal candidate for our software company in Gerry. His experience and knowledge as well as his value compass are an ideal fit for our agency. Like us, he always focuses on people - internally as well as externally." Gerry Giacomini adds: "jkweb has raised its ambitions for the Swiss market even higher, not least through the acquisition of the Bern-based software company novu. I am very happy to contribute my know-how to the further development of the agency and thereby support our clients in the realization of their projects."
Gerry Giacomini discovered his true passion - the world of information technology - after completing his bachelor's degree in economics and a job in asset management at UBS. To deepen his knowledge in this field, he decided to pursue a master's degree with a focus on business informatics at the University of Bern. During and after his graduation, he worked in Key Account Management at Adnovum Informatik. As CRO, Gerry Giacomini will play a central role in the strategic direction and expansion of jkweb's customer relationships. One of his first tasks will be the rebranding of the software company. The jkweb brand is to be updated and refreshed in order to position the company optimally in the market. The name and expertise of novu, the digital agency acquired in 2022, are of great importance here.
