Nokia Turning Over New Design Leaf

Mar 1, 2006, 4:13 PM by (staff)

Along with a new CEO, Nokia today announced that April will bring new leadership - and new structure - to its design organization. After 16 years at the helm, Frank Nuovo will step down from his position as head of design, and focus solely on Vertu, Nokia's luxury brand. The company will merge each business unit's design department into a single cohesive unit under the leadership of Alastair Curtis. Curtis is currently in charge of design for Nokia's business unit, and has led development of the recently announced eSeries as well as more recent incarnations of the Communicator series.
