After BlackBerry received a $1 billion institutional investment from Fairfax Financial and other partners, it announced that CEO Thorsten Heins would be leaving the company and former Sybase CEO John S Chen would be appointed as interim CEO. The company hasn't said how long it will take to find a permanent candidate, however Fairfax CEO Prem Watsa has high hopes from Chen. Speaking with Reuters, Watsa said that John Chen is in it “for the long haul,” adding that he's an “exceptional leader” who will do very well at the helm of the once iconic company.
