With the BlackBerry Passport now released and the Classic coming later this year, BlackBerry has today announced that they have taken on another board member. As you'll see from the following press release, Mike Daniels has a ton of experience in the industry and will be a great asset to BlackBerry as they continue to drive forwards.
It isn't just mobile that Mr Daniels is an expert in. He's had his fair share of experience in several industries and with BlackBerry being so much more than just a handset and mobile software company he sounds just right for the job.
