The great exodus continues at BlackBerry as three more executives leave the company. Just after 250 employees in BlackBerry's R&D department were let go recently, three high level executives have left. Doug Kozak, VP of corporate IT operations, Carmine Arabia, SVP of global manufacturing and supply chain, and Graeme Whittington, VP of service operations, have all moved on.
BlackBerry had announced plans to streamline their employees and cut expenses for the struggling company. Although not specifically confirmed by BlackBerry, these recent exits seem to be part of the master plan.
BlackBerry's turnaround is taking a long time and it sure seems like it's not going to happen. BlackBerry has a decent patent portfolio that may be valuable to someone, but at this point the company is basically irrelevant. They are having almost no impact on the big players in the mobile space. The bleeding continues and it seems like only a matter of time before they are either acquired, or follow Palm down the road of no return.
