Nokia is going to establish a new Solutions unit in October, as a part of its transformation strategy to drive its existing business solutions offering and align it with the company’s devices and services portfolio.
The company said that the new unit is expected to manage the end-to-end creation and delivery of solutions across the company together with the other units, and bring together all design and user experience activities to improve consumer experience.
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO of Nokia, said: We are now fine-tuning our operations to accelerate the pace of our company’s change and to increase the speed, flexibility and innovation with which we meet consumer needs. The new unit will better enable us to deliver not only first-class devices and compelling consumer services, but also complete solutions that integrate the two seamlessly.
Alberto Torres, currently head of devices category management has been appointed to head the new Solutions unit and will become a member of the group executive board on October 1, 2009. Alberto Torres joined Nokia in 2004. Prior to his current position as head of devices category management, he has held a number of senior positions in the company’s corporate strategy and Vertu devices.
