He is CEO of Nokia - Finnish corporation, headquarted in Finland (E.U.) and ruled by Finns - corporation that monopolizes over 50% of market share in E.U. and is also number one cell phone vendor in the world (however not in China, Japan, Korea).
Before coming to Nokia he was just bank cler in a tiny local (Finnish) division of Citibank. His career started for good in Nokia - a corporation that previously was producing rubber and paper and only after 1995 switched to mobile phones.
His main purpose in life is now not to allow Microsoft to gain any significant market share in cell phone industry. For this purpose Nokia is financially supporting British tabloid The Register in Microsoft bashing, and encouraging Sendo to continue suing Microsoft and all operators that use Microsoft powered smartphones (Sendo "buys" at Nokia not only Series 60 Symbian software but also software for small, regular, not-smartphone-like cell phones).
