Maurice Acker, erstwhile director of business customers at SMG Swiss Marketplace Group, has struck out in an entrepreneurial direction following his departure from his management role at SMG, as co-founder of a software engineering outsourcing startup.
Freelancer marketplace Pink Zebra, which will operate in Switzerland and South Africa, offers to “source and hire for our customers remote software developers, data analysts and digital specialists.”
In a LinkedIn post, the former director said the startup’s goal was “reshaping the future of software engineering outsourcing.”
Acker had held his role at SMG Swiss Marketplace Group, formerly Scout24 AG, for close to four and a half years.
He was replaced by Matthias Bischof, who took up the role of director of business clients at SMG Automotive on May 1.
SMG Automotive is part of the SMG Swiss Marketplace Group, a JV founded in 2021 by TX Group, Ringier, Mobiliar and General Atlantic. Its automotive portfolio includes AutoScout24 and MotoScout24.
