Mike Kirkup, Reserach in Motion Senior Director of Developer Relations, resigns…

August 30, 2011 by Robb Dunewood 3 Comments

In an unexpected move, Mike Kirkup, Research in Motion  Senior Director of Developer Relations, resigns after 10 years at the company.

As the mobile space continues to change so quickly and this seems like a great time to step back and consider my next steps.  If you wonder what I mean about the changing mobile landscape, just look at what has happened in the last two weeks – Motorola was acquired by Google, HP shut down webOS and Steve Jobs resigned as CEO from Apple.

      Well, I didn’t say he was great.  As a matter of fact I had a bit a criticism of him, which I linked to, not two weeks ago.  That being said, however, Mike Kirkup, over his 10 year career at RIM, has been incredibly good for the BlackBerry.  The guy didn’t run the company by himself…
