After the return of the brand Nokia Mobile via HMD Global Oy, Juho Sarvikas became the face of the brand. The Finnish company's chief product officer and vice president of North America announced yesterday that he is leaving the company.
A senior executive announced on Twitter yesterday that his 15-year career at Nokia and HMD has come to an end. The announcement came as a surprise and led to speculation about the future of Nokia Mobile. The timing also seems inappropriate given that HMD Global is planning to launch on April 8th, which is less than two weeks from now.
After an amazing 15 years of working with Nokia and HMD, I made a tough decision, it's time to move on. I am so proud of what we have accomplished together and know that the success of HMD and Nokia phones will continue. Subscribe to @nokiamobilefor Nokia Phones news. Thanks for everything 🙏 pic.twitter.com/ZyCIsu7ouV

Mr Sarvikas has yet to announce his next appointment as his Twitter bio and LinkedIn page still lists his current positions at HMD Global. Nevertheless, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
Nokia Mobile isn't the only manufacturer to leave senior management this week. Xiaomi CFO Shou Tzu announced a few days ago that he is leaving the Chinese giant to take on the same role at ByteDance in his home country of Singapore.
