Tero Tähtinen

I build systems for the car trade. When you need something new, it gets built now — not “sometime in the autumn.”

I am an entrepreneur: Kateetti Oy. Our online sales solution for dealers is Verkkokauppamaksu.fi.

25 years in IT and the car trade. I know the dealer and finance processes and the industry players.

M.Sc. (Tech.), TKK / Aalto (1999–2005).
