Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo Resigns

Helsingin Sanomat (Finnish)

Edit: Found a link in english.

The new CEO is Stephen Elop, coming in from Microsoft :eek:

Quote:

Elop commented on his new Nokia position: "I am extremely excited to become part of a team dedicated to strengthening Nokia's position as the undisputed leader of the mobile communications industry, with a relentless focus on meeting the needs and expectations of customers. Nokia has a unique global position as well as a great brand upon which we can build. The company has deeply talented and dedicated people, and I am confident that together we can continue to deliver innovative products that meet the needs of consumers. The Nokia slogan clearly states our key mission: Connecting People, which will acquire new dimensions as we build our portfolio of products, solutions and services."

A press conference will be held today at Nokia's head office in Espoo, Finland, at 13:00 (CET+1). The press conference will be webcast live via: www.nokia.com/press or http://www.nokia.com/press/media_res...nokia-webcasts.

Hahha good idea, but I think the stock won't rise anytime soon, it will only going downward. Nokia didn't make much profits since the Droids and Iphone came out. I hope this resignation of the CEO will bringing a better support for the N900 and future device :)

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns

I'm not too familiar with either OPK or Elop. What are the potential pros/cons of this change?

Nokia is already at the CON state lol. Changing the CEO will only help thrive the company to success in the future. But I don't think N9 will be my next device :D I'll wait until Elop bringing out a counter attack device.
