The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that a former BlackBerry executive has filed a lawsuit in California against the company and its recently installed chief executive officer, claiming he sexually harassed her and that she was wrongfully terminated. The Post's Gabriel Friedman writes that the plaintiff is only identified as a woman of colour who held several executive-level positions. The suit names BlackBerry and its CEO John Giamatteo as defendants. The lawsuit was filed anonymously Wednesday in Federal Court in California, where the plaintiff resides, under the name Jane Doe, an alias permitted in the United States in lawsuits of a personal nature, such as discrimination or sexual harassment. According to the complaint, the plaintiff joined BlackBerry more than a decade ago and received several promotions during her tenure, eventually joining and rising within the executive group. Mr. Giamatteo joined BlackBerry in 2021 as president of its cybersecurity division from the anti-virus software firm Mcafee LLC, where he was president and chief revenue officer. The lawsuit alleges the plaintiff rejected Mr. Giamatteo's advances and that he retaliated. BlackBerry and Mr. Giamatteo deny the allegations.
