Frank Nuovo to Leave as Nokia's Head of DesignNokia's head of design, Frank Nuovo, is to leave after more than 16 years of coming up with models which helped the Finnish firm become the world's biggest mobile phone maker.
Nuovo, 45, will hand over on April 1 to Alastair Curtis, who is currently in charge of design in the unit that produces Nokia's lowest-cost handsets, the company said on Wednesday.
Nokia said Nuovo, who has been called the "Calvin Klein of cellular communication," will continue in a consulting role and stay as principal designer at Vertu, its luxury phone brand.
Nokia, which has sold more than a billion mobile phones, will also reorganize and centralize design in a global team to oversee all of its handsets and make sure it is more nimble.
Nuovo was credited with coming up with Nokia's original design style, as well as changeable phone faces to personalize phones.
