The world's top mobile phone maker, Nokia, is on the verge of firing several executive board members, in the largest management "shake-up" in years.
CEO Stephen Elop, in charge since last September, will unveil the overhaul on February 11th.
A few of the executives expected to leave are "Mary T. McDowell, the executive in charge of Nokia's mobile phones unit, Niklas Savander, the manager of the markets unit, Chief Development Officer Kai Oistamo and Tero Ojanpera, the manager responsible for services and mobile solutions," says Reuters.
Elop is allegedly looking "for top people with good software expertise" as the company continues to see its smartphone market share demolished by Apple and Android.
