. Research In Motion will be getting a new chief operating officer shortly, replacing current co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. RIM is planning on naming Thorsten Heins, previously the company's chief operating officer, as the company's new CEO. Though Balsillie and Lazaridis will step down as CEOs, they will remain directors and obviously large shareholders in Research In Motion. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the company's new CEO stated that RIM was not intending to put the company up for sale, though a successful launch of BlackBerry 10 could open the door to possible licensing agreements with other manufacturers.
