RIM CEOs to Give Up Top Posts in Shuffle

Quote:
WATERLOO, Ontario—After 20 years together at the helm of Research In Motion Ltd., Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, the company's co-chief executives, said they planned to turn over the top job early Monday to a little-known company insider as part of a board and management shuffle.
Get ready for the slew of users who can not keep conversation going on one thread and create more threads about this.

The board was expected to name Thorsten Heins, previously one of two chief operating officers, to be chief executive, according to the company.
Turning it over to an operations guy? How can that possibly go wrong at a time when RIM needs to produce viable products just to survive.

A few more details

RIM'S CEOS ARE OUT!

I like this section;

For people hoping RIM will sell off its handset business and focus on software, Heins has a message, "I'm happy that we're not just a handset manufacturer ... It's this integrated platform."

I like where things are headed, and I'm concerned it can get screwed up by a change at the top. Maybe if Dan Dodge takes over, it would be OK, but I'm worried right now. Stupid WSJ (can't read it)

Looks like 2012 IS the year of change for RIM.

Here's to the next 11 months.
