In addition, Ricky Corker, who has served as Nokia’s Chief Customer Experience Officer since 2021, will step down and leave the company on June 28, 2024. Ricky’s departure follows Nokia’s decision to empower its business groups with increased operational autonomy and move into a streamlined operating model, where the Customer Experience organization has been embedded into the business groups from the start of 2024. This change will enable the business groups to better seize growth opportunities with existing and new customers, and diversify faster into enterprise, webscale and government sectors.
“Ricky has been a valued member of Nokia’s leadership team and the Nokia community. He has been with Nokia for over 30 years and held several management positions within the company. I want to thank Ricky for all his contributions to Nokia, not least for helping to drive Nokia’s transformation and building trust with our customers throughout the years. I wish him all the best with his future endeavors,” said Pekka Lundmark.
