“Vesa Uotila knows Kamux since 2011 when Intera Partners came along to support Kamux’s internationalization. He has seen the company’s growth and progress in different phases, first from an investor’s perspective and later through the board work. Over the years, I have been impressed by Vesa’s views on business development, his skills and his analytical approach. Vesa’s long history with Kamux creates an excellent starting point to succeed as the director responsible for business development.
“Kamux is a trendsetter and reformer that has created a positive market disruption in used car sales. Kamux’s development and track record are impressive and it’s one of the fastest-growing companies listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. I am excited about my new role and the chance to be involved in building the business in line with company’s ambitious growth targets,” says Mr. Vesa Uotila.
