There's a smattering of old Nokia hands at HMD, but in my experience you're likely to find at least a few ex-Nokia people in almost any tech company of note out here. For all its faults as a company it birthed a generation of truly exceptional electrical and embedded engineers, and they in turn have birthed a metric ton of startups in the last decade all over the place.

It looks like HMD Global's headquarters are in Espoo, which is kind of like the Long Island of Helsinki if that makes sense. So they definitely have access to a lot of that human capital if and when they need it.
