Motion Picture Association Names Emilie Anthonis President, MD EMEA


The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has set Emilie Anthonis as its new President and Managing Director for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Anthonis will take up the post as of January 1, 2025, succeeding Stan McCoy, who is stepping down after more than a decade.

Based in Brussels, Anthonis will report to Gail MacKinnon, Senior Executive Vice President, Global Policy & Government Affairs.

Prior to joining the MPA in 2017, Anthonis was Director of Legal and Public Affairs at the Association of Commercial Television in Europe. Before that, she served as in-house counsel at Viacom. She began her career as an IP lawyer in a Brussels law firm focusing on copyright and media law.

“Emilie is a veteran of the MPA and the European audiovisual sector, and she’s earned a strong reputation as a powerful advocate for the creative industry, an expert in policymaking, a respected voice in European capitals, and a leader of integrity,” said Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the MPA. “Emilie is ready to take the reins of our operations and serve as an effective voice for our industry across this region, and I have full confidence in her ability to keep advancing the MPA’s priorities, leading our policy engagements and accompanying our member studios’ partnerships with stakeholders throughout Europe and beyond.”

Added Anthonis, “I am looking forward to serving the MPA members in this new capacity while continuing the spirit of teamwork that Stan has inspired across all of our MPA EMEA operations. Europe is such a key market for the MPA’s members, and they have a very long history of storytelling and partnerships in the region.

Commented McCoy, “I’m proud to pass the baton after an exciting decade leading what is undoubtedly the EMEA region’s most skilled trade association across public policy, anti-piracy, and all its other fields of expertise.”
