As of April 1, 2025, Pekka will replace Pekka Lundmark, who will lead the Finnish Telecommunications giant and remain as a consultant by the end of the year.
Hotard moved from HPE to Intel at the beginning of 2024 and directed the company’s server and AI business.
Under his leadership, Intel launched Xeon 6 processors, but encountered failures in the AI segment – Gaudi 3 did not meet expectations and the Falcon Shores project and the Clearwater forest processor were postponed.
Now Intel is urgently looking for the new DCAi leader.
Nokia rely on data centers and Hotard experience in the field of artificial intelligence. The new CEO will focus on AI and cloud technologies and supervise the transformation of the company.
