Work under new leadership isn’t always a straight line. Nokia’s new CEO, Justin Hotard—an expert in AI and data centers—is expected to please shareholders with a quick stock boost. But here’s the twist:
Hotard’s background might push Nokia toward building AI data centers or factories, pitting the company against the cloud hyperscalers. The real goldmine, however, lies in combining his expertise with Nokia’s core strength: 5G.
By targeting vertical industries—rail, electrical grids, ports—Nokia could tap into a revenue opportunity worth a fraction of the global vertical market’s quadrillion-dollar value. While investors clamor for a quick return, the long-term vision of private 5G networks is already reshaping the digital industrial revolution. Will Hotard ignore the pressure for immediate gains and seize this transformative opportunity?
Watch to see why Nokia’s next move could redefine the future of telecom.
