A good run at RIM indeed. Over the 6.5 years I was there, we launched
more than 50 products. I worked with Bev and a group of amazing hard
working chaps. Be able to work on those latest equipment is a treat of
itself. Work for a director that fully understand the tech issue with
business savvy is hard to find. I got notice one and half year early...
It is a small field, we may cross our career path again some point..Keep
in touch and Best of luck.
Best wishes.
