After Satya Nadella, it may now be the turn of
another Mangalore University graduate to head a
Fortune 500 company. Rajeev Suri, who currently
heads Nokia's telecom equipment business, is
tipped to become the global chief executive officer
of Nokia Corporation.
An announcement elevating Rajeev Suri may be
made by March-end or April, when software giant
Microsoft concludes the acquisition of Nokia's
handset business, Finnish media reports suggest.
After the acquisition, Nokia will be left with the
telecom equipment, location-based services and
advanced technologies business.
Nokia said its longstanding policy is not to
comment on media speculation.
Rajeev Suri is also an engineering graduate from
Mangalore University like Satya Nadella, who took
over last month as US-based Microsoft's third CEO
after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.
If chosen, Rajeev Suri will join an elite club of
Indians heading global firms, which includes
PepsiCo Chairman Indra Nooyi, Reckitt Benckiser
Chief Executive Rakesh Kapoor, Ajay Banga,
President and Chief Executive of MasterCard, and
Anshu Jain of Deutsche Bank.
Rajeev Suri, who has headed Nokia Solutions and
Networks (NSN) since October 2009, has been
credited for "presiding over consistently improving
results leading to the successful turnaround and
restructuring of the company."
According to his official profile, Rajeev Suri has a
Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics and
Telecommunications from Mangalore University. He
is based in Espoo, Finland.
With more than 23 years of international experience,
Rajeev Suri has worked in strategy and mergers &
acquisitions, product marketing, sales, major
account leadership, regional and business unit
leadership and has lived in the Middle East, Asia,
Africa and Europe.
Rajeev Suri joined Nokia in 1995 and headed the
Asia Pacific region for NSN in 2007.
In July last year, Nokia agreed to buy German
engineering giant Siemens' 50 per cent stake in
their mobile broadband joint venture NSN for 1.7 billion euros
(USD 2.2 billion) after which the firm was renamed
Nokia Solutions and Networks.
