Nokia Prez Joins Austin Ventures

Kari-Pekka Wilska (say that 3 times fast) former president of Nokia in the Americas, is joining Austin Ventures as a partner.

Wilska, 57, retired from Irving-based Nokia America earlier this year and had been looking for a job with a venture firm. He chose Austin Ventures as it is one of the most prestigious Texas firms, and Wilska didn't want to relocate.
