On Monday, we reported how BlackBerry MD Matthew Ball had left BlackBerry to join Optus as Head of SMB.
BlackBerry have now announced that the current VP of Sales for Asia-Pacific and Japan, Paul Crighton, will continue to lead the team in Australia and New Zealand.
Crighton has been VP of Sales for Asia-Pacific and Japan at BlackBerry for the last nine months.
BlackBerry have confirmed to Rapid Meta that Ball has left the company:
“We can confirm that Matthew Ball is no longer with BlackBerry and we thank him for his contribution to the company.”
As VP of Sales for Asia-Pacific and Japan, Paul Crighton will continue to lead the team in Australia and New Zealand. ÂÂÂ
BlackBerry is focused on growing its global enterprise customer base and Paul will play a key role in achieving this for the ANZ market as the company concentrates on several critical components.
First, we provide customers choices in what operating system they can use by developing cross-platform mobile solutions that support Android, BB10, iOS or Windows.  Next is providing the most secure mobile infrastructures – especially as companies are broadly adopting BYOD strategies that create more complex security challenges.  Third is capitalizing on the pedigree and trust BlackBerry has built with strategic partners and governments around the world.”
