Nokia has appointed Emma Falck as the new President of its Mobile Infrastructure business, marking a major leadership change as the telecom giant pushes deeper into AI-powered network technology.
The company announced that Falck will also join Nokia’s Group Leadership Team. She will officially take charge from July 1, succeeding Tommi Uitto, who is stepping down after more than two decades with the company.
Falck currently serves as Nokia’s Chief Financial Officer for Mobile Networks and has held several senior leadership roles within the company over the years. Nokia said her appointment reflects the company’s focus on strengthening next-generation mobile infrastructure and accelerating the shift towards AI-native networks.
The Mobile Infrastructure division is one of Nokia’s core businesses and handles technologies related to radio networks, cloud infrastructure and broadband systems used by telecom operators around the world. The unit has become increasingly important as global telecom companies invest in 5G expansion, automation and artificial intelligence.
In its official statement, Nokia described Falck as a leader with strong experience in strategy, finance and business transformation. The company said her leadership would help drive innovation as the telecom industry moves towards more intelligent and automated network systems.
The leadership change comes at a time when telecom companies worldwide are facing pressure to improve network efficiency, reduce operational costs and prepare infrastructure for future AI-driven applications. Nokia has been positioning itself as a key player in this transition, especially in areas linked to cloud-based and AI-enabled mobile networks.
Falck said she was honoured to take up the new role and highlighted the growing importance of intelligent network technologies in the future of telecommunications. She also thanked her predecessor Tommi Uitto for his contribution to the company over the years.
