February 23, 2026
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has announced the appointment of Thomas Limouzin-Lamothe as Vice President, Content Protection EMEA, effective from March 9th. He will report to Larissa Knapp, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Protection Officer for the MPA.
In his new role, Limouzin-Lamothe will lead the MPA’s content protection strategy across the EMEA region. He will work closely with regional stakeholders, law enforcement agencies, industry partners, and member companies to address the challenges of digital piracy, including live sports piracy and illicit IPTV piracy.
Limouzin-Lamothe brings more than two decades of international experience spanning intellectual property law, cybercrime enforcement, and large-scale anti-piracy operations in both private practice and in-house leadership roles. Most recently, he served as Legal Counsel, Antipiracy EMEA and was involved in global investigations at The Walt Disney Company, where he helped manage intelligence-driven enforcement initiatives protecting films, television content, streaming platforms, and sports rights across multiple markets.
Prior to Disney, Limouzin-Lamothe held strategic positions at 21st Century Fox and Microsoft, where he built and led multinational teams, developed region-wide enforcement strategies, and delivered measurable revenue and compliance outcomes across EMEA, with a focus on the Middle East, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe.
“Thomas brings an exceptional combination of legal expertise, operational rigor, and real-world enforcement experience,” commented Knapp. “His deep understanding of both the technology and entertainment sectors, along with his proven ability to lead complex, cross-border initiatives, will be instrumental as we continue to advance our content protection efforts across EMEA.”
“I’m honoured to join the Motion Picture Association at a time when collaboration and innovation are more important than ever in protecting creative works,” added Limouzin-Lamothe. “I look forward to working with MPA members and regional partners to strengthen enforcement, disrupt illegal services, and support a sustainable creative ecosystem throughout EMEA in an ever-evolving piracy landscape.”
