BlackBerry announced Tim Foote has been appointed as the company’s CFO, effective July 29. Foote will report to BlackBerry CEO, John Giamatteo. Foote joined the company following BlackBerry’s acquisition of Good Technology in 2015 and brings more than 20 years of experience across a number of senior finance leadership positions. Foote will succeed Steve Rai, who has decided to pursue other opportunities outside of the company. Rai will remain with BlackBerry until September in a consulting role in order to help facilitate a smooth transition. In addition, BlackBerry has appointed Jay Chai as the company’s Chief Accounting Officer. Chai has been Vice President and Corporate Controller at BlackBerry since May 2019 and will leverage his deep expertise in financial reporting and operations for this new, expanded role and responsibilities.
