Chief Legal Officer Nassib Abou-Khalil leaves Nokia
Espoo, Finland – Nokia’s Chief Legal Officer, Nassib Abou-Khalil has decided to leave Nokia and step down from the Group Leadership Team. A recruitment process will be initiated immediately for his successor.
Nassib Abou-Khalil joined Nokia in 2014 and was appointed Chief Legal Officer in 2019. Prior to this role, he held various senior legal and compliance roles within the company, including serving as general counsel for customer operations and leading the integration of Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia’s compliance programs.
“It was a very difficult decision for me. However, after eight years with the company, it is time to renew myself personally and look for new challenges externally. Whatever I have been able to accomplish – both as Nokia’s CLO and in our industry-leading inclusion and diversity work – has only been possible because of the support and encouragement I have received from my colleagues at Nokia. Even though I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, I will miss working with this great team,” said Nassib Abou-Khalil.
“Nassib was a valued member of Nokia’s leadership team. I thank him both for leading our legal and compliance work and for being a strong advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion inside and outside Nokia. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said Pekka Lundmark, Nokia President and CEO.
Esa Niinimäki, Deputy Chief Legal Officer, Corporate and Secretary to the Board of Directors, will assume the role of Nokia’s interim Chief Legal Officer.
