About Christian Bertermann

Christian Bertermann and Hakan Koç cofounded Auto1 and grew the used car marketplace to become one of Europe's most valuable startups.

Auto1 went public on the Frankfurt stock exchange in February 2021; Bertermann is the CEO.

Bertermann worked at a German Groupon-like company and then Groupon after the American deals marketplace snapped up its German rival.

He met his cofounder Hakan Koç while they worked in the same building at different startups in Berlin.

The pair were inspired to found the business after Bertermann struggled to sell his grandmother's Mercedes and a VW Golf.
