RIM loses head of global sales
THE head of global sales at Research In Motion has left to take on a leadership role in another industry, the BlackBerry maker said last night.
London-based Patrick Spence was a 14 year company veteran widely considered a rising star for RIM. He was promoted to the global sales role in July last year after serving as managing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. RIM has seen a steady stream of departures in the past year as its once-dominant market share has slipped amid fierce competition from Apple.
