Business POV

We filmed Green back in February when it seemed like Nokia's deal to buy the company was done. But European regulators didn't officially approve the purchase until today. Here Green talks about his excitement at partnering with the Finish telecom giant, which says it will run Navteq as an independent company.

The presentation was filmed at a Young Professionals of Chicago/World Business Chicago breakfast on February 26.

This is part 2 of that presentation. WATCH Part 1 here.
