Mayor de Blasio is set to name David Hansell to run his embattled child welfare agency.

Mayor de Blasio is set to name a lawyer with management expertise to run his embattled child welfare agency, officials said Monday.
David Hansell, a Yale Law School graduate who oversaw child welfare programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will start at the city’s Administration for Children’s Services in the coming weeks, officials said.
ACS has been without an appointed commissioner since Feb. 3, when Gladys Carrión left amidst growing concerns about the agency’s bungling of several cases involving child deaths.
On Monday the Daily News revealed that caseloads for child protection specialists had grown beyond levels deemed acceptable by the city.

Hansell, 61, is seen as more of a manager and less of a social worker. Carrión’s background was as a child welfare caseworker.
Hansell’s held a variety of positions in city, state and federal government but started his public career in the 1980s as a top lawyer for the Gay Men’s Health Crisis.
