Brian Rooney, a longtime Bloomberg employee who was one of the early editorial hires, has left the company earlier this week, multiple sources confirmed to Talking Biz News.
A former colleague called him one of the “most respected Bloomberg news guys and later a guru on the analytics side.”
Rooney has been the core product manager for news for the past eight years, overseeing, among other things, the rollout of Twitter feed availability on the Bloomberg terminal.
He also oversaw the rollout of a variety of $2,000 newsletters available from Bloomberg.
Rooney had been with Bloomberg since 1991 and served within the newsroom as the top news editor, national news editor, Princeton bureau chief and New York bureau chief before joining product development in 2005.
A graduate of the University of Colorado, Rooney is a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts and a CFA charter holder.
