chief executive officer of Dopplr, Marko Ahtisaari, to become the Head of Nokia Design

Dopplr, which Nokia purchased yesterday, was headed by CEO Marko Ahtisaari. Arctic Zone Startup has just learned that he has been appointed Head of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Design. That’s a blaze of a promotion. Marko Ahtisaari has a rich account, besides being the CEO of Dopplr, he sits on the board of directors at F-Secure, Newsmill, Artek and WITNESS. He is also an adviser to FON. He was a function of the squad that started Blyk. Most importantly, he is a former Nokia employee. He was the Director of Design Strategy in 2002. Good luck!

Update: Oh and one more thing … his dad is Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland and achiever of the Nobel Peace Prize.
