This can’t be a good sign. The Globe And Mail is reporting that two senior BlackBerry executives have left the company:
BlackBerry Ltd. has announced a shakeup of its executive ranks, saying Kristian Tear, chief operating officer, and Frank Boulben, chief marketing officer, are leaving the company.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based company also said Monday James Yersh will replace Brian Bidulka as chief financial officer and that board member Roger Martin has resigned.
Those are not minor changes. It could be that new CEO John Chen want to bring in his own people, thus they got pushed out. Or it could be that they decided to leave on their own accord. It’s hard to tell from this. Once the details start to flow, it should be interesting to see what the story is.
UPDATE: CrackBerry.com has a press release with more info. It sounds like they were asked to leave.
