Finnish telecom-equipment maker Nokia on Friday said one of its board of directors would step down after taking on a job at British telecom provider Vodafone Group.

Nokia said Vivek Badrinath would resign from the board with immediate effect following to his appointment as Chief Executive of Vodafone's Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific region.

Nokia didn't announce a replacement, saying its board will now consist of the remaining eight members for a term ending at the close of Nokia's annual general meeting next year.
