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.

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.
