AMSTERDAM - April 25, 2017 - CBS announced today that Meghan Lyvers, a senior programming executive at CBS Television Studios, has been named Senior Vice President, Co-Productions and Development, CBS Studios International. In her new post, Lyvers will relocate to the Company's EMEA headquarters in Amsterdam, reporting to Armando Nu ez, President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Studios International, and David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios.
From her new base in Europe, Lyvers will develop new programming opportunities for CBS Television Studios in both the U.S. and the international market. She will acquire new formats, identify co-production opportunities and mine the Studios' deep library as she looks to develop original series with CBS' broadcast and streaming partners around the world. As part of this process, Lyvers will continue working with the Studio's extensive roster of writers and producers to create new content for international platforms.
The global marketplace continues to grow with more platforms and more demand for programming which, in turn, opens up significant opportunities for premium content providers like CBS, said Nu ez. Meghan will be a great asset to our international operation as we continue to expand our content portfolio and serve our clients' programming needs.
Meghan is an outstanding creative executive who has developed both commercial hits and acclaimed series, said Stapf. She also brings a diverse background in film and television, working as both a development executive and a producer. We're excited for her to create new opportunities for us on the global stage.
Most recently, Lyvers was Senior Vice President, Cable/Digital, CBS Television Studios, developing programming for basic, pay cable and premium streaming services. She joined the company as Senior Vice President, Drama Development in 2014, helping develop series such as MACGYVER, BULL and CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND.
Prior to CBS Television Studios, Lyvers was a producer at Management 360, establishing their television division and building the company's drama and comedy slate, including the upcoming AMC series The Terror. She also developed projects with their prolific roster of writer, director and actor clients across broadcast, cable and digital platforms.
Previously, Lyvers served as Vice President, Development and Production at Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions. For more than a decade, she helped shepherd Tribeca's feature film and television slate, including About a Boy, Meet the Fockers, The Good Shepherd, Little Fockers, Being Flynn and NYC 22. Lyvers was involved in the creation of the Tribeca Film Festival and Tribeca Film Institute with De Niro and Rosenthal, and she remains active with both organizations. She attended New York University.
