Taneli Tikka joins Dopplr
Taneli Tikka, former Managing Director of Dynamoid (IRC-Galleria), has joined the online travel service Dopplr. Tikka joins Dopplr as their new Chief Operating Officer. Dopplr is an online travel network, where you can share your travels with friends who are connected to you.
