Nokia appointed Sandy Motley as the new Country Manager for Nokia in the U.S., a newly defined role for the company. She has held the position of President of the company’s Fixed Networks division – which is part of Nokia’s Network Infrastructure business group – since 2019.
Nokia has an established presence and more than 10 000 employees. The U.S. was the first region to deploy Nokia’s 5G technology and around 90% of the U.S. population is connected by Nokia’s network solutions. The U.S. is also home to the organization’s world-leading industrial research lab, Nokia Bell Labs.
In August 2023, Nokia announced it was becoming the first telecom company to announce the manufacture of fiber broadband optical modules in the U.S. for the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program.
“We are delighted to announce Sandy as our new U.S. Country Manager. Her expertise, passion, and deep understanding of the market and the priorities of our customers and partners make her the ideal frontperson for Nokia in the U.S.,” said Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO, Nokia. “Sandy possesses a wealth of senior leadership experience and has managed cross-disciplinary teams at many levels of the organization.
