What Blackberry, Canada, and Sonos have in common...

Sonos CEO Patrick Spence has been leading the audio giant for close to eight years. You don’t get to hold onto the CEO role for that long without doing a lot right time and time again: from introducing new home speakers to diversifying the company’s supply chain out of China. What many in the business world don’t realize is that Spence was there at the early days of Blackberry. In fact, he sold some of the first Blackberry phones to Wall Street over a 14 year career at the company. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks with Spence about his leadership journey, what went wrong at Blackberry and why Sonos is poised to challenge Apple in the headphone category. Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.
