I really hope this is not true. This man ran a one proud Nokia into the ground.


This is true.


Absolute undiluted bullshit.  As a Nokia shareholder I can assure you that is far from the truth.  He saved them from utter annihilation and extinction.

At the end of the article,

"Nokia CEO Stephen Elop will rejoin Microsoft shortly to lead an expanded devices team focused on Surface, Windows Phones, and Xbox. Microsoft recently Nokia’s mobile division."

CEO of a device manufacturer, so he knows at least a good bunch about his new position.

There has never been a worse CEO for a device manufacturer in terms of change in revenue and share price from the start to the end of their term.

He even destroyed their existing featurephone revenue, which should have been stable for many quarters to come.

Nokia? It could've been worse.

How.



kowenicki, if I am wrong about Mr. Elop then I apologize. I don't keep up with business news at all. All my info. comes from a wiki :

During the 3 years Elop was Nokia CEO, Nokia revenues fell 40%, Nokia profits fell 95%, Nokia market share collapsed in smartphones from 34% to 3.4%, Nokia's credit rating went from A to junk, Nokia's share price dropped 60% in value and Nokia's market capitalization lost 13 Billion dollars in value.

good choice, but isn't that old news?!
He saved Nokia and has a proven track record. It just makes sense.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
