The former rubber boot maker Nokia announced that Rolf Werner has joined the company as the Senior Vice President of its European region,
Werner joined Nokia from Cognizant Technology Solutions, where he was the CEO of Germany, with responsibility for the DACH region. DACH is a top three region for Cognizant Technology, and under his leadership, the company delivered double-digit growth for the region, including the acquisition of ESG Mobility.
During his career, Werner has held senior positions at Fujitsu, Global Logic, and T-Systems, where he led the turnaround of T-Systems’ French organisation across the whole organisational framework.
Heading Nokia’s Europe Region, Werner will help drive Nokia’s already significant growth and market share. The company hopes Werner will improve relationships with key European customers and support the company’s growth ambitions into new market segments.
Nokia Chief Customer Experience Officer Ricky Corker said: “I am thrilled to welcome Rolf to the company. With broad experience across the industry, gained in software, service providers and many other areas, Rolf can help guide Nokia’s European organisation through the next stage of our corporate development.”
Werner said: “This is an excellent time to join Nokia. It is clear that Nokia has an excellent opportunity to seize the market as one of the few companies that can offer solutions to its customers across the full range of technologies available in the industry.”
