Profile: Roland Klein, Ericsson - Getting in touch with mobile phone users/Roland Klein is relinquishing the world of cars for a future in telecoms

Roland Klein’s exhausting schedule as head of global corporate media relations at DaimlerChrysler might have qualified him for a new role in some advisory capacity to the airline industry. With an office in Stuttgart and one in the US, he commuted between the two almost every week. Instead, Klein is joining that other industry beloved of the busy corporate executive, the mobile communications industry. He will join the Swedish company Ericsson as senior vice-president in corporate communications next March.
