The USA Pavilion organizers continue to expand their talented team with the approach of the 2010 Expo, as Martin Alintuck has been appointed as the pavilion's director of communications and main spokesman.

The announcement was made yesterday by Nick Winslow and Ellen Eliasoph, co-founders of Shanghai Expo 2010 Inc, a non-profit organization that funds and operates the USA Pavilion.

"It's an honor to be a part of the USA's presence at the Expo," said Alintuck. "I look forward to supporting the American participation in this once-in-a-lifetime event that will bring the world to Shanghai."

Alintuck has lived and worked in China for almost seven years, most recently as managing director, China, for Edelman Public Relations where he oversaw offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. During that time, he also served as vice chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China for two years.
