Digital Media Association (DIMA) has announced the appointment of Alyssa Slaimen as VP, government & external affairs.
DIMA represents music streaming services including Amazon, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, TIDAL and YouTube.
Slaimen joins the DSP trade body from the office of Senator Peter Welch, where she led the portfolio on intellectual property and AI. Her work included legislation currently before the US Senate Judiciary Committee on the use of copyrighted works in training generative AI models.
“As DIMA’s reach and impact continue to grow, Alyssa brings direct legislative experience that our policy work demands," said the organisation's president and CEO Graham Davies.
“She joins at a moment when rules being written around AI, copyright and streaming will shape the music industry for years to come, and we are delighted to welcome her to the team."
