I'm delighted to welcome Melissa to Nokia's Group Leadership Team. She has extensive experience in managing company reputations and enabling organizations to achieve their objectives. As Nokia embarks on the next stage of its journey, we will play a key part in providing the technology that will enable positive change for the planet, our economy and our society. Melissa's knowledge in helping shape these relevant debates and ensure a strong voice for Nokia will be crucial to our future success, said Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO of Nokia.
I'm thrilled to be joining the Nokia team at this pivotal time in the company's history. Its leading technology and intellectual property, iconic brand and differentiated strategy position it for sustained long-term growth. I look forward to advancing Nokia's global reputation with its stakeholders to drive and support the company's business goals, Melissa Schoeb commented.
