Ex-FBI Agent Talks Incident Response Strategy at Content Protection Summit

Giovanni Rocco, former FBI undercover agent and author of “Giovanni’s Ring: My Life Inside The Real Sopranos,” will deliver the community keynote April 17 at the Content Protection Summit at NAB (CPS@NAB) being held at the SAHARA Theater in Las Vegas.

Rocco’s presentation — “Driving Team Performance in Incident Response” — will bring a realistic outlook and insightful understanding to what first responders are experiencing in today’s work environment and the solution-focused steps needed to resolve the inner conflicts prohibiting those front-line guardians in attaining maximum personal performance.

Rocco spent years inside an exclusive “old boys” network, where to be accepted and included in the community was literally a matter of life or death.

As an undercover law enforcement officer who spent most of his 26-year career as a member of state and as part of a federal task force targeting organised crime, the culminating role of his service was the successful infiltration of one of America’s most violent and long-standing Mafia families, the New Jersey DeCavalcante family. At the conclusion of this landmark investigation, Rocco retired from law enforcement and moved his family to a location that remains undisclosed.

The insight and strategies he brings to this keynote presentation were acquired over decades of exemplary service with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
