MPA Hires FBI Veteran Larissa Knapp As Global Chief Of Content Protection
Knapp will lead content protection efforts for the studio trade association
Charles Rivkin, chairman and CEO of the MPA, said, “With Larissa’s experience in high-risk, complex organizational environments coupled with her visionary leadership, I’m confident that our content protection enforcement business will only grow in stature and impact, as we safeguard the rights and productions of all those who conceive, develop, and deliver creative masterpieces for screens big and small.” Knapp said, “My career in law enforcement has afforded me the opportunity to lead strategic initiatives protecting legal rights and addressing crime on a large scale, and I look forward to leveraging that experience in the fight against copyright infringement on behalf of our members and content creators around the world.” Jan van Voorn, who had been EVP and chief of global content protection, departed the MPA earlier this year to serve as CEO of IP House.
