A brief look into Lundmark’s profile: Lundmark has previously worked as Chief Executive Officer of Konecranes, a global material-handling technology leader. He is not new to the Nokia brand as he had formerly held various executive positions at Nokia, including vice president of strategy and business development at Nokia Networks from 1990-2000.
