Search every verified John Giamatteo interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. John Giamatteo, CEO of BlackBerry, has recently discussed the company's transition from its historical smartphone business to a focus on software, particularly its QNX operating system. In media appearances, he stated that QNX software powers over 275 million vehicles and that car software accounts for 80 percent of QNX revenue. He also highlighted the company's expansion into areas such as robotics, industrial automation, and medical instruments, and noted a design win for its Alloy Core software platform, which he described as the largest contract in QNX's history. Giamatteo addressed the company's financial performance and strategy, mentioning that BlackBerry raised its full-year outlook twice in the year and reported its first cash-positive fiscal first quarter in nine years. He said the company is prioritizing organic investment in its QNX business, considering stock buybacks because he believes the company is undervalued, and keeping mergers and acquisitions "always on the table," particularly in the physical AI and embedded systems space. He also commented on the use of AI in safety-critical software, stating that while the company uses AI for testing and efficiency, it is cautious about injecting AI directly into code that powers vehicles and other critical systems.
