New RIM CEO Doesn’t Think A Big Change is Needed

January 23rd, 2012

Thorstein Heins, RIM’s new CEO:

“At the time, the company was growing but still acting as a startup,” said Heins. “But startup processes don’t scale. Every company goes through that phase. I had the opportunity to learn about RIM here. I don’t think that there is a drastic change needed. We are evolving our tactics and processes. I don’t feel that I was held back in any way to do what I needed to do.”

I see that re-arranging the deck chairs is a popular pastime at RIM.
