Ryan Lowerre has joined Lionsgate as president of domestic television and digital distribution.

Lowerre will be responsible for overseeing the distribution and licensing of Liongate’s 17,000-title film and television library. He is an Amazon Prime Video alum, most recently as head of licensed content for the U.S. Lowerre also worked at Hulu, where he oversaw content investment of hit series such as black-ish, Power, The Good Doctor and Golden Girls.

“The demand for premium content is increasing all the time as more new buyers emerge to compete in the domestic marketplace,” said Lionsgate’s president of worldwide television distribution, Jim Packer, to whom Lowerre will report. “Ryan’s past work experience and business relationships make him the perfect candidate to help Lionsgate capitalize on the growing opportunities of an ever-changing media environment. He understands the needs of our buyers and brings a fresh and invigorating perspective to the team and our domestic business.”

“Lionsgate is an entrepreneurial content leader at the forefront of innovative and bespoke distribution models, with a slate of current releases and a robust library that reach every corner of the world,” said Lowerre. “I’m proud to join Jim and the Lionsgate family in positioning the Company as a partner of choice to domestic streaming and linear buyers as their appetite for content continues to grow exponentially.”
