The global corporate communications head of Royal Caribbean Cruises has left the company after less than two years.
Michele Nadeem, who joined the Miami-based operator of 40 cruise ships around the world in June 2010 from DHL, is no longer with the company and a replacement has not been named, said Cynthia Martinez, director of global corporate communications.
Nadeem was the top communications exec at DHL Express US after stints in her own shop and at Siemens.
RCC operates Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises, Pullmantur and CDF Croisieres de France.
One of its fleet on the Azamara line last week made headlines overseas after it was disabled by a fire and drifted for 24 hours in Philippines waters. But the two high-profile cruise crises this year struck RCC rival Carnival, including the grounding of the Costa Concordia off Italy and the disabled Costra Allegra which lost power in pirate-patrolled waters in the Indian Ocean.
Weber Shandwick works with RCC.
