BlackBerry confirmed that Eric Johnson, the executive in charge of sales for business and government customers, has departed the company.
BlackBerry’s core business is providing device management software to exactly these types of customers. BlackBerry did not elaborate on the terms of Johnson’s departure, but he filled a vital role in the company. BlackBerry has spent years attempting to rebuild its business.
BlackBerry’s handset division may have recently released the Android-based Priv smartphone, but sales of handsets have dwindled to fewer than one million devices per quarter. The bulk of BlackBerry’s revenue comes from its BES product suite.
