What has your career journey at Nokia looked like across regions?
Additional information
Hi Rana, I am a jordanian student graduating from Cornell this May and noticed you are based in Dubai. As someone from the region, I would really value hearing your personal career story at Nokia and what shaped your path to working internationally. Any advice you would share would mean a lot.

Hi Mohammad
Great to connect with you, and congratulations on your upcoming graduation from Cornell—that’s an incredible achievement! For me personally, I’ve always loved traveling from a young age. I started my career in Australia, but after gaining some experience, I decided to move to the Middle East to broaden my exposure on a global scale.
What’s been wonderful about Nokia is that, even though I’m based in Dubai, I get the opportunity to work closely with internal and external stakeholders across the Middle East and Africa region, as well as globally. That’s one of the great things about Nokia—you can make an impact on a global scale while being based in one location.
I hope that helps, and I’d be happy to answer any further questions you may have!
Warm wishes,
Rana
