HELSINKI (MarketWatch) -- Finland-based telecom equipment maker Nokia Corp.'s NOK, -1.67% Chief Technology Officer Richard Green has taken some time off, and will most likely not return to Nokia due to differences of opinion over the company's strategy, Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat reports Thursday.
Nokia said its Executive Vice President Green had taken some time off for personal reasons, but did not disclose any further information, the report said.
Nokia's failure to keep pace in the high-end market with nimbler rivals including Apple Inc. (AAPL) and the growing number of devices based on Google Inc's GOOG, +0.98% Android, saw it abandon its Symbian platform in February for smartphones in favor of a partnership with Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.06% and its Windows Phone software.
