Rajeev Suri Career
Rajeev has worked in roles such as strategy and M&A, product marketing, sales, major account leadership, regional and business unit leadership, and has lived in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe during his more than 20 years of international experience. Before joining Nokia in 1995, he worked for multinational corporations in India and Nigeria. Suri took over as CEO of NSN in October 2009, following the merger of Nokia Networks and Siemens Networks. In the global tech community, he is known as a “turnaround specialist.”
Suri announced in November 2011 that the company planned to cut 17,000 jobs by the end of 2013 to allow NSN to refocus on mobile broadband equipment, the market’s fastest-growing segment. The layoffs would reduce the company’s workforce by 23%, from 74,000 to 60,000. The layoffs come on the heels of NSN’s $1.2 billion purchase of Motorola’s mobile network equipment business in July 2010, which added staff, and are expected to help the company cut annual operating expenses by $1.35 billion by the end of 2013.
Suri was appointed CEO of Nokia in April 2014. This occurred after Nokia regained full control of NSN and sold Nokia’s phone division to Microsoft Mobile.
