Blackberry 
RIM’s co-CEOs and founders Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis after months of investor backlash against the company.
Mike and Jim will become “vice-chair of the board with special duties to examine innovation” and traditional director respectively. The company is determined to make significant chances, starting with this. According to The Wall Street Journal this is part of “a board and management shuffle,” with COO Thorsten Heins to become the new CEO, seeing to immediately fix the company’s damaged reputation. Heins asserted that he’s “confident” in Blackberry’s handsets and the recent software update for the Playbook.
Yeah that was probably his first mistake. On stepping down, co-CEO Lazaridis stated: “I think it’s that unwillingness to sacrifice our long-term value for short-term gain. That’s why we didn’t choose Android. That’s why we decided to build the future on QNX.“
And here’s a video with the new CEO:
