Nokia CEO received his award at Know Your Mobile Awards 2011.
Stephen Elop became President and CEO of Nokia in September 2010. He was the first non-Finn in this post. His appointment was the beginning of monumental changes in the organization - right up to the company's approach to the mobile phone business.
The mission of Elop was to change the face of the company, rethink the brand and create new devices that will be as desirable for the consumer as Apple and BlackBerry products and Android devices.
The launch of Nokia’s first Windows Phone phone, based on Microsoft’s brand new mobile operating system, was the beginning of this mission, combining Nokia’s advanced hardware solutions with user trust and faith in Microsoft.
The judges say:
“It was not easy to bring Nokia back to life.”
“It speaks truthful words and draws a lot of media attention to the company. He is also very famous for his previous work at Microsoft. ”
“ He made radical, possibly contradictory, changes to rethink Nokia. He has a clear vision of the future, he has a clear goal. ”
His rival was Ilya Laurs of Getjar.
Translator’s Note: It reminds me of the Obama Nobel Peace Prize. Most of the statements made in the article do not seem fair to me (and consumers ), and Stephen Elop himself directly violates the promise of the previous Nokia CEO: “We will not be like those guys who write in their pants to keep warm.”
