TORONTO (Reuters) - Research In Motion has nominated Timothy Dattels as an independent director to the BlackBerry maker's board, replacing Antonio Viana-Baptista, the company said in a filing on Thursday.
RIM is proposing the remainder of its board be re-elected at an annual meeting due on July 10.
Dattels is a senior partner at TPG Capital LP and was previously head of investment banking for Asia excluding Japan at Goldman Sachs.
Viana-Baptista, a former Telefonica executive, had been a RIM director since September 2009.
