Nokia Appoints Sebastian Nyström as Head of MeeGo
Off with the old, on with the new. The MeeGo blog announced today that Sebastian Nyström has been appointed to head the MeeGo team at Nokia. He has been leading Qt at Nokia. Sebastion replaces Alberto Torres who left the company during the Nokia/Windows announcement last February.
In a note to Nokia employees, Sebastian defined his role as:
1. Launching a product from our MeeGo program later this year. We believe our upcoming device will have unique appeal to the style-conscious, connected enthusiast.
2. Keeping Nokia on track to deliver necessary software updates following launch of the product.
3. Working with the Linux Foundation, Intel and the wider community to plan Nokia’s future involvement in meego.com.
We are expected to see more of Sebastian in the coming weeks as the team prepares for MeeGo Conference in San Francisco later in May.
