“A number of folks have expressed regrets, or said they were sorry. No need. During my time at BlackBerry and QNX, we’ve achieved significant business results, built lasting friendships… I look back on what the company and our teams accomplished over the last three years with pride,” Mr. Saunders wrote on his blog.

A BlackBerry spokesperson confirmed Mr. Saunders’ departure on Tuesday. “We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours,” she said. It’s unclear what Mr. Saunders’ next career move will be. On Twitter, he said his transition at BlackBerry would be followed by a short vacation, “then I’ll be looking for my next adventure.”
