**Today Emma Falck steps into her role as the President of Nokia's Mobile Infrastructure (MI) business group and a member of the Group Leadership Team.**

Joining Nokia from Siemens where she served as Executive Vice President of Products for Smart Infrastructure Buildings, Falck has a background in industrial automation, software-led platforms, and global product management. Her resumé also includes holding partner positions at the Boston Consulting Group and leadership roles at KONE, alongside a Doctor of Science in Technology from Aalto University. Falck will be based in Espoo, Finland and report to Nokia’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Justin Hotard.

**The noteworthy thing is that Emma Falck has no telecom experience so I interpret that she is brought in to transform Nokia's wireless networks to embrace the opportunities AI and especially AI-RAN offers.**

**From Nokia's announcement on hiring Falck:**

“I’m delighted to welcome Emma to Team Nokia. As AI moves toward physical AI, networks need to become AI-native by design for both 5G Advanced and 6G.

Our focus in Mobile Infrastructure is clear: To help our customers succeed by building a software-led infrastructure business that leverages open interfaces, standards, and a rich partner ecosystem to accelerate innovation.

Emma brings broad transformation experience, operational leadership and a fresh perspective from global businesses that use technology to enable automation. She is the right leader to take MI into this new chapter,” said **Justin Hotard**, President and CEO of Nokia.

“I’m excited to join Nokia at a pivotal moment for our customers and the industry. As networks evolve to support new AI-driven demands, customers need partners who can deliver with speed and predictability, and turn technology roadmaps into real-world performance.

Mobile Infrastructure’s breadth across core software, radio networks and technology standards is a solid foundation. I look forward to working with the team to strengthen our execution, embed AI into our development and delivery processes, and bring the next wave of innovation to our customers,” said **Falck**.
