Nokia’s VP of Services, Niklas Savander

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Whenever anyone sits down Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President of Nokia Services (e.g. Ovi), they ask him routine and dare we say, BORING, questions. And whilst we’d love to quiz Niklas about the intricacies of Nokia Maps, Ovi Store and so on, we thought it would be rather useful to put some different questions to the chap, to find out how he ticks.

The first question we asked? What was your first ever mobile handset.

The last question we asked? What was the first album you ever bought.

Oh yes. Niklas proved to be a fun, engaging chap. Ben did the interview whilst Dan took supplementary footage and I pointed the camera.

Grab a coffee — it’s a short video, just 9:58 minutes long — and enjoy:

Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us, Niklas!

We interview Nokia’s Niklas Savander

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Yesterday evening we sat down with Nokia’s Niklas Savander to have a chat — not your usual ‘how’s your EBITDA’ style conversation. Instead we asked him what his first and current handsets were. We asked what his favourite movie was. We asked him what was next with Nokia services, what his children thought of Nokia and what third party applications he liked.

In short, it’s an alternative interview. Let’s talk to the man rather than the company. They don’t come much bigger than the likes of Niklas. He runs Nokia’s Services offering (“Executive Vice President, Services” to give him his formal title) and he’s also on the Nokia Executive Board. We thoroughly enjoyed it and we’ll be bringing that to you very shortly.

You can read Niklas’ bio here.
