LIMA is expanding its presence across the globe. The premier trade association for the worldwide licensing industry recently appointed representatives in three growth-oriented markets: Brazil, France and Russia, as well as naming a respected industry veteran as the new head of LIMA India.

“We recognize the importance of these markets for the global licensing community and by establishing on-the-ground presence we are able to better serve our membership,” said LIMA President Charles Riotto. “This is strategically in-line with our mission to foster the ongoing expansion of licensing around the world. Our industry continues to grow on a global scale, and LIMA is committed to providing best-in-class education, information and networking programs everywhere our members are and want to be.” The representatives for the new LIMA offices include:

• Marici Ferreira, LIMA/ABRAL (Brazil)
• Laurent Taieb, LIMA France
• Jiggy George, LIMA India
• Marina Semenikhina, LIMA Russia

“The addition of these new representatives also better addresses the needs of our members looking to expand into new markets, while providing a full suite of licensing essentials and representation on a regional level,” said Riotto.
