Rajeev Suri has been named president and CEO of Nokia, a position he’ll hold from May 1, 2014. Suri will have the task of revitalizing the company after the sale of Nokia’s Devices & Services, the mobile devices division, to Microsoft in September 2013. His predecessor Stephen Elop went back to Microsoft, with which he had worked previously. Risto Siilasmaa, who at that point was appointed Nokia’s interim CEO, has become chairman of the company’s board of directors.
