Bloomberg News names two executive editors in Asia

Bloomberg editor in chief John Micklethwait sent out the following announcement to the editorial staff:

This week I am in Singapore and Delhi and I am delighted that my visit has coincided with two changes that reflect Asia’s growing importance to us. The first is the very welcome arrival of the Asian edition of Bloomberg.com. The other is the establishment of an Asian management team. We are creating a regional management team and promoting John Liu in Beijing and Brian Bremner in Tokyo to executive editor. John and Brian will report to David during the Asian day, and Brian also will continue to oversee the region’s Editing Hub and report to David Gillen.

Liu has been Greater China managing editor since January 2014. He has also been Shanghai bureau chief and Beijing bureau chief, as well as a technology reporter for Bloomberg in China.

Bremner (right) has been executive editor of Asia enterprise for the past month. Before that, he was managing editor for enterprise. He served as Bloomberg Businessweek’s assistant managing editor for news from 2009 to 2014. Previously, he spent 15 years in Asia as a foreign correspondent covering the region from Tokyo and Hong Kong.

In addition, Ed Johnson was named managing editor for Australia/New Zealand.

And Stephanie Phang is the new bureau chief for Singapore, succeeding Linus Chua, who’s now managing editor for Southeast Asia, as previously announced.
