Nokia Romania Appoints New CEO
The Romanian unit of mobile phone maker Nokia on Thursday announced it has appointed Marcus Storkel as chief executive officer, replacing Razvan Petrescu at the completion of his three-year mandate.
Storkel has been with Nokia for 15 years now, and prior to this appointment he has led Nokia’s Hungary unit. Now he will be in charge with both units, Romania and Hungary.
Nokia, which started making mobile phones in Romania in February 2008 following a EUR60 million investment, announced in September it would close its production line in Romania by the end of the year and move operations to Asia. Within this operation, Nokia laid off 2,200 local employees.
However, the shutdown date was moved up to November 30, for lack of orders.
