Sean Silcoff is a technology reporter at the Globe and Mail, and Queen’s Comm ’92. He co-authored the book, Losing the Signal with Jacquie McNish.
Losing the Signal is about Blackberry’s rise and fall, and has recently been turned into a movie. Sean was the first reporter to uncover the story of what happened to the company.
We chatted about how he first formed a relationship with Jim Balsillie to uncover the story, what it was like in the interview room, how he wrote the book on a deadline with young kids, and his advice for lost business students.
