03:47 PM EDT, 08/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- The woman behind a lawsuit alleging the CEO of BlackBerry Ltd. ( BB ) sexually harassed her and then retaliated against her for reporting the behaviour is the company's former chief marketing officer, The Canadian Press is reporting Monday.

It noted lawyers for plaintiff Neelam Sandhu told a U.S. court this month that Sandhu would voluntarily proceed using her real name in the case against the Waterloo, Ont., tech company and its CEO John Giamatteo.

In court documents, lawyers Maria Bourn and Anthony Tartaglio say Sandhu chose to use her name to prevent further harm to other women within the workplace.

Sandhu had originally pursued the case under the name Jane Doe.
