There aren’t many devices that captivate audiences and evoke such loyalty as Nokia phones do. I look forward to doing this legacy justice and helping bring fans of the brand what they’ve come to expect – the best in quality design and the latest technology at an accessible price point.”
Stephen Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer at HMD Global said, “I’m looking forward to working closely with Adam in his new role and am confident the team will have much to learn from his experience.
