Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the appointment of Lorna

Team, effective immediately. In addition, Ricky Corker, who has
served as Nokia’s Chief Customer Experience Officer since 2021,
will step down and leave the company effective June 28, 2024.
Lorna Gibb joined Nokia in 2020 and has been Nokia’s Interim
Chief People Officer since March 2024. Prior to this role she
served as Vice President, Labor and Employment, being a member of
Nokia’s People and Legal & Compliance Leadership Teams. Lorna
has over 20 years of experience working in people leadership roles
for large scale global businesses in various industries and
geographies. Before joining Nokia, she held roles as Global People
Director for Skyscanner and People Partner/Director for EasyJet,
where she spearheaded cross border organizational and cultural
transformation. Lorna will be based in Finland and reports to
Nokia’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Pekka Lundmark.
“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Lorna as our
Chief People Officer. As acting Chief People Officer, Lorna has
already demonstrated a passion for the development of Nokia's
culture, and she has a strong vision on how to develop our people
function. Lorna is an experienced leader with a digital mindset and
understands what is needed to attract and retain key talent in
order to position us for future success,” said Pekka Lundmark,
President and CEO of Nokia.
"I am honored to lead our people function as Nokia continues its
transformation journey as a B2B technology innovation leader. I
believe that our people are what makes us great at Nokia. To enable
our talented employees around the world to keep doing what they do
best, I’m looking forward to leading the evolution of our culture
and people strategy, providing the tools and support to drive
innovation," Lorna Gibb commented.
In addition, Ricky Corker, who has served as Nokia’s Chief
Customer Experience Officer since 2021, will step down and leave
the company on June 28, 2024. Ricky’s departure follows Nokia’s
decision to empower its business groups with increased operational
autonomy and move into a streamlined operating model, where the
Customer Experience organization has been embedded into the
business groups from the start of 2024. This change will enable the
business groups to better seize growth opportunities with existing
and new customers, and diversify faster into enterprise, webscale
and government sectors.
“Ricky has been a valued member of Nokia’s leadership team and
the Nokia community. He has been with Nokia for over 30 years and
held several management positions within the company. I want to
thank Ricky for all his contributions to Nokia, not least for
helping to drive Nokia’s transformation and building trust with our
customers throughout the years. I wish him all the best with his
future endeavors,” said Pekka Lundmark.
“Serving at Nokia has been a privilege. I am confident that I
leave Nokia on a path to continued success, and I wish Nokia and
all my colleagues the very best,” commented Ricky Corker.
