Google Finance has hired the former global head of FX for Bloomberg, Philip Brittan, to lead its attempt to break the stranglehold on financial information by Reuters and Bloomberg.

A spokesperson for Google confirmed to Euromoney that “Philip Brittan started to work for Google Finance last March 15 as a product management director.”
Brittan was previously global business manager for FX and economics at Bloomberg.
