Ecolab Inc. has appointed Nicholas (Nick) Alfano executive vice president and president of the company’s global industrial group.

Ecolab’s global industrial group is its largest business segment, with nearly US$7 billion in revenue in 2022.

“Ecolab’s global industrial group continues to drive major growth and innovation for our customers,” said Christophe Beck, Ecolab chairman and CEO. “Nick’s strong focus on delivering value for our customers and his deep knowledge of food and beverage, manufacturing, transportation, and institutional businesses position him exceptionally well for this role. He will build on Darrell Brown’s exceptional leadership of this group until his promotion to president and chief operating officer last October. He is a forward-thinking leader with decades of experience and a strong track record of building and running large, global sales organizations.”
