Julia Massimino, who spent more than a dozen years on the staff of Congressman Howard Berman (D-Cal.), is the new VP-global public policy at SoundExchange, the non-profit performance rights group repping the recorded music business.
She's in charge of government affairs, legislative matters and strategy.
SE last year brought in former XM Satellite Radio PR exec Marie Knowles as VP/comms.
Berman was chairman of the subcommittee on courts, intellectual property and the Internet. Massimino served as his chief of staff, handling copyright, antitrust and communications issues.
Michael Huppe, CEO of SoundExchange said Massimino has the ability to “master the substance of difficult issues and the skillset to work with diverse constituencies to reach a common goal.”
Massimino also worked for former Congressman Bill Delahut (D-Mass.).
