Wilson, who will lead the team at MSI’s London-based Secretariat, said: “I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to become chief executive of MSI Global Alliance. It is an association with a great reputation and I am very much looking forward to working with MSI’s legal and accounting firms around the world and meeting the new challenges.”
