Nokia’s Mobile Networks Head Quits, to Split Business

Nokia's head of mobile networks, the division which accounted for more than half of the Finnish telecom network equipment maker's sales last year, is leaving the company. Nokia said on Friday it would break out services as a distinct business group from mobile networks following the departure of Samih Elhage, who joined the company in 2012 and helped to turn around its network business at a time when it was a troubled joint venture with Siemens.
