LAS VEGAS, NV, United States – One of the things that really stands out to me in the Nokia booth is the Nokia employees and their enthusiasm and authentic way of telling the Nokia story.
There are employees from all across Nokia on the booth including folks from marketing, IT, Communications and many other departments. There are also Nokia staff from all over the country (and world), each with passions and exciting stories.
To give more of a story about each employee, we did a fun little survey of them while they manned the booth at the Consumer Electronics Show.
