Personal
Tetto was born in the United States to parents who immigrated from Italy. After moving to South Korea, he adopted the Korean name "Tae Hyeon Jun (태현준)," selecting "Tae" as a Korean surname influenced by his original family name, "Tetto."
His residence is a traditional hanok located in Bukchon, Seoul, called "Pyeonghaengjae," which serves as a tranquil environment for social gatherings. The interior design of his home and his collection of antique Korean ceramics have been showcased on television.[5] More recently, he has been studying the traditional Korean string instrument known as the gayageum.

From 2007 until 2010, he was an associate within Morgan Stanley's Investment Banking Division. Subsequently, he joined Samsung Electronics as Senior Manager for Corporate Strategic Planning from 2010 to 2014. He then held the position of Chief Financial Officer at Vingle (social network) for approximately one year.[6][7]
At present, Tetto is a partner at TCK Investments, applying his background in finance and strategic management. He is proficient in English, Korean, and Italian, enabling him to connect cross-cultural business environments.[6][1]
