Google, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), after months of searching for a new Chief Financial Officer, has just named a new one as of this week. Bell Canada (NYSE: BCE)'s Patrick Pichette will take over for the retiring George Reyes. Reyes, who presided over Google's IPO back in 2004 and was very adept at telling the investor community only what Google wanted the world to know, will be an interesting person to replace indeed.

Pichette will begin with Google on August 1. His recent positions as president of global operations and CFO of Bell Canada no doubt was a large mark on his resume. Google did the right thing here -- searched for, and found, a seasoned global exec to represent the financial communications of the world's hottest internet company.

One area that will be interesting to see develop involves Google's stubborn approach to not laying it all out on the table. As in, giving all the inside guidance and other details analysts crave so that they can push GOOG shares up or down if those targets are hit or missed every quarter. Google has always been a financial communication maverick and has told the market to stick it many times by not coming forward with a bunch of granular detail about future quarters. What will Pichette do? We'll see on Google's Q3 quarterly results call later this year.
