Anssi Vanjoki , Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo , Symbian , and Qt are all either already departed or on their way out of Nokia. It’s of little surprise, therefore, to hear that the company’s Chairman, Jorma Ollila , will soon be following in their footsteps and clocking out of the Espoo office for the final time.

He’s expected to step down at some point next year, with Nokia now commencing the search for his replacement.
