Movie industry boss Dan Glickman has announced that he will leave the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) this April, a few month before his contract ends.
As Chairman and CEO of the MPAA, Glickman helped lead the organization into a crusade against millions of people around the world, pushing strategies which can, and often were described as draconian.
Unlike his predecessor Jack Valenti, who held the office for 38 years, Glickman was not seen as the ideal movie industry leader by all insiders.
“The unhappiness focuses on the fact he’s a bad and boring speaker who has not repped the movie business well in Washington,” a Hollywood insider said last year, hinting at an early exit for the MPAA boss.
Glickman will be temporarily replaced by Bob Pisano until a replacement is found. Pisano has been Chief Operating Officer at the movie industry lobby group since 2005. Glickman continue his career as President of Refugees International.
