With all the doom and gloom due to job cuts and executive exits, the hiring of someone at BlackBerry actually makes news. They’ve appointed John Sims to lead their Enterprise Services Business. Prior to BlackBerry, he was President of SAP’s Mobile Services business and his official title at BlackBerry is President of Global Enterprise Services. Here’s some more words from the press release:
“I am pleased to welcome such a seasoned executive as John to BlackBerry to help lead our key business operations through our ongoing reorganization and transition,” said John Chen, Executive Chair and CEO of BlackBerry. “His extensive experience in transforming businesses, redefining brands and motivating teams will be a tremendous asset to BlackBerry as we reshape the Company to be more nimble and focused. The changes we are making demonstrate our commitment to innovating for current customers who count on BlackBerry, and the new users who are just learning how powerful and compelling the BlackBerry 10 platform can be. John will be central to all of those efforts.”
Clearly John Chen is putting his team in place. One other thing to note, there’s no “interim” tag associated with his job title. Draw whatever conclusions you wish from that.
