International association MSI Global Alliance has appointed Timothy Wilson as its chief executive officer.
Wilson hails from the position of membership director at Abbeyfield Society, a later-life housing charity, where he helped support over 200 independent care homes.
Before joining Abbeyfield, Wilson served in the armed forces for 28 years, including tours in Bosnia, Cyprus and Northern Ireland and heading a 1,000-soldier task force in Iraq.
Having completed a selection process described by the company as "rigorous", Wilson will be based in MSI's London offices.
James Mendelssohn, chairman and outgoing acting chief executive officer of MSI, said he was "delighted" by Wilson's appointment.
"His previous experience and knowledge of working in an international organisation will make him an excellent asset to MSI, and we are looking forward to Tim having a long and successful career with us as our new chief executive," he added.
Wilson himself also professed himself "delighted" at the opportunity, and said of MSI: "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."
In 2012 MSI Global Alliance appointed Donal Watkin, formerly deputy executive director of Nexia International, as chief executive, but he left the post in 2013.
