Bryson has spent nine years at Lifetime, serving as president of distribution and affiliate business development as well as exec VP/GM of Lifetime Movie Network.
Under Bryson's watch, LMN saw its total viewership grow by 40% over the past three years (as well as 18% with women 18-49), making it the No. 2 women's network. Channel is now seen in 59 million homes.
"Her leadership has been critical to the great financial success we enjoy today," said Lifetime Networks CEO Andrea Wong. "She has been a champion not only of her own team, but for all our assets and projects."
Bryson's credits include stints at FX and NBC. She began her career as a documentary producer.
"What has been particularly gratifying have been the ever-increasing opportunities our business has offered women, with so many now holding influential and powerful positions," Bryson said of her 25-year stint in the cable business. "I feel deeply fortunate to have worked at Lifetime ... it's a very special place where entertaining women and advocating on their behalf is considered both a privilege and a joy."
Bryson plans to travel the world with her husband, who is also retiring this summer.
