The company announced on Wednesday that it has appointed James Mackey to be its new executive vice president for corporate development and strategic planning while also announcing that it will bring on Avaya chief marketing officer Mark Wilson to be its new senior vice president of marketing.- What’s interesting here is that both men have deep connections with interim BlackBerry CEO John Chen, who said that he has “worked extensively” with both new executives in the past and that they have “developed close and trusted relationships” with one another that will “enable us to cohesively manage the changes required to reshape BlackBerry.”
