Based in New York, Alexandru will help develop the line of business, and will report to Henry MacHale, global head of crisis management.

MacHale said: "Nicky is a recognized expert in crisis management and his strong expertise and market knowledge will ensure that we develop and grow this new US product contamination/recall line.

“We see opportunities going forward to expand our presence in the crisis management arena and product contamination/recall is a valuable diversification from, and addition to, our existing lines."
