^{GSMA honours communications without borders} Ollila gets Chairman Award in Barcelona

Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila was Wednesday awarded the GSM Association’s Chairman’s Award, given in recognition of his leadership skills in creating a world-leading mobile communications company.

Presenting the Award, GSM Association chairman Craig Ehrlich said: “This Award is in recognition of the career of a man whose company’s achievements and growth have mirrored those of GSM - a vision of communications without borders whether those barriers are physical, national, economic or social.”

“Nokia is now one of the world’s best known brands – a household name that has come to signify quality, ingenuity - and credibility.”

Sponsored by Fortune magazine, The GSM Association Chairman’s Award was established in 1995 to recognise outstanding personal or company-wide contributions that spectacularly support the growth and vitality of the GSM mobile community.

Previous winners include Sir Christopher Gent, former Chief Executive of the Vodafone Group and Zhang Li Gui, former President of China Mobile; and companies such as NTTDoCoMo of Japan and Entel PCS of Chile.
