Former BlackBerry co-CEO Jim Balsillie sold the last of his stake in the company last year, according to an SEC filing.

Balsillie joined BlackBerry in 1992, eight years after it was founded. He was co-CEO with founder Mike Lazaridis until in January of 2012 when they both stepped down to let Thorsten Heins take over.

Heins has overseen the development and introduction of BlackBerry 10, a new operating system which is supposed to compete with Android and iOS. He also rebranded the company as BlackBerry, killing the company's name of Research In Motion.
