by Arthur Goldstuck (@art2gee) If you like rollercoaster rides, you should ask BlackBerry for a job. Not that it’s hiring off the streets right now, but the CEO job is available, for one.
Thorsten Heins was fired on Monday after presiding over the collapse of BlackBerry’s customer base during the past two years. His interim replacement, John Chen, is best known for turning Sybase from a failing business into a leading enterprise systems company by taking a massive bet on mobile at a time when it was dismissed by most.
