BLACKBERRY ENTERPRISE BRAND RE-POSITIONING
Lead Director for the successful 2014-15 Brand re-positioning to focus on Enterprise and Government sectors under the “Serious Mobility
for Serious Business” platform. This was adopted company-wide as part of the entire company re-start-up program. I led three successful
Global new product launches following this new direction with fully-integrated campaigns under considerable financial constraints and
stretched resources – BES12 Enterprise Mobility Management software plus added-value services to enterprise customers and BlackBerry
Passport and BlackBerry Classic smartphones to professionals.

4. BLACKBERRY 10 LAUNCH (CONSUMER & ENTERPRISE)
Lead Director for Brand Strategy and Communications for the successful 2013 Global launch program for the new BlackBerry 10 platform. This
launch program with a “Keep Moving” theme was BlackBerry’s largest, fully-integrated marketing program, utilizing multi-media across owned,
earned, and paid digital, off-line media, full social media initiatives, paid endorsements and sponsorships, plus fully integrated sales programs
with retail and carrier partners. I was instrumental in integrating together all the marketing and sales group silos within BlackBerry to ensure
delivery of the most powerful and efficient, integrated launch campaign across 21 markets.

5. BLACKBERRY CONSUMER LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
Lead executive for development of BlackBerry’s first significant consumer marketing campaign. BlackBerry developed consumer-focused
smartphones in response to the iPhone and Android introductions. In 2009, BlackBerry launched the “Love What You Do” campaign with a
strong emotional expression to celebrate people’s passion for what they do. However, this initial launch campaign did not link the BlackBerry
brand strongly enough to the proposition. When I joined BlackBerry in 2010, I re-launched the campaign with a better link to the brand’s
productivity and communications core experiences. This ensured the emotional connection and celebration of one’s love for what they do was
strongly tied to BlackBerry. This campaign successfully launched BlackBerry 7 smartphones, expanded the appeal of BlackBerry Messenger
(BBM), and was instrumental in establishing the BlackBerry World store and BlackBerry multimedia experiences and apps.
