S1, E3: Jorma Ollila is invited to a weekend conference arranged by venture capitalist and playboy Pentti Kouri, attended by the crème de la crème of the Finnish business community. An attempt is made to get Ollila to join the secret Northstar Alliance, which aims to buy – and then sell – all the Nokia shares, essentially dissolving the company through a leveraged buyout. Katarina, along with her colleague Aki Makkonen, prepare their defense strategy for the legal battle with Motorola. Nokia’s weakened position forces the company into restructuring. In a shock to the team, Risto’s beloved phone project is abruptly shelved when budget cuts freeze all the company’s current development.
