Rajeev Suri, Timo Ihamuotila, Samih Elhage, Federico Guillén, Basil
Alwan, Bhaskar Gorti, Hans-Jürgen Bill, Kathrin Buvac, Ashish

Brad Rodrigues, currently head of strategy and business

president of Nokia Technologies, and the company has started the
search for a permanent successor with the requisite technology,
product and commercial skills.
"Ramzi has created a strong foundation in Nokia Technologies,"
said Rajeev Suri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nokia.
"Under his leadership, we have grown our patent licensing business,
reached an agreement with HMD global Oy to bring the Nokia brand
back to mobile devices, and made excellent progress in digital
media with the launch of the OZO virtual reality camera and in
digital health with the acquisition of Withings. I wish Ramzi well,
and am confident that with its strong foundation, Nokia
Technologies will continue its progress without missing a
beat."
"What was originally a collection of interesting assets is now a
focused, growing and profitable business with a strong leadership
team," said Haidamus. "Given that progress, now is the right time
for me to explore new opportunities to pursue my passion for
building and transforming businesses. I am proud of what we have
accomplished at Nokia Technologies and look forward to seeing the
business continue to grow and thrive."
