Nokia has named Rajeev Suri as its new chief executive officer.
The 46-year old has until now led Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN), the network equipment unit of the firm.
The unit is set to become its key business after Nokia finalised the sale of its mobile phone division to Microsoft last week.
The sale saw Nokia's former chief executive Stephen Elop leave the firm to become executive vice president of the Microsoft devices group.
Risto Siilasmaa, chairman of Nokia, said Mr Suri "has a proven ability to create strategic clarity, drive innovation and growth, ensure disciplined execution, and deliver results".
Indian-born, Mr Suri has been working at Nokia for the past 20 years and has lead the firm's network equipment unit since October 2009, helping to make it profitable.
