Nokia Chair Sari Baldauf will step down as the company undergoes restructuring to capitalize on AI and data center demand, following a 3% decline in Q4 operating profit to 1.05 billion euros. Timo Ihamuotila is proposed as her successor, while net sales of 6.12 billion euros met analysts' expectations.
