The new Nokia head previously worked at Microsoft, Juniper and Adobe

Mr Elop will replace the outgoing（即将离职的） Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, who was a lifelong Nokia employee and has been chief executive since 2006.

The appointment may mark a sea-change in culture at the top of the Finnish mobile phone giant.

In July, Nokia reported a 40% slump³ in second quarter profits, as it struggled to break into the smartphone market.

Experience

Mr Elop, who will take up his new position at Nokia on 21 September, is currently the head of Microsoft's Business Division.

Prior to working at Microsoft, he has also held senior positions at Juniper Networks, Adobe Systems and Macromedia.

"The Nokia board believes that Stephen has the right industry experience and leadership skills to realise the full potential of Nokia," said Nokia chairman Jorma Ollila.

"His strong software background and proven record in change management will be valuable assets（资产，财产） as we press harder to complete the transformation⁴ of the company."
