\n Wonya Lucas, the executive who helped usher in a more diverse Hallmark Channel as CEO, will step down from her post at year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

\n Hallmark, in announcing the move Tuesday, said Hallmark Companies CEO Mike Perry will work with Lucas and the Hallmark Media<\/a> team to guide the platform through her transition.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI am honored to have led this company and am tremendously proud of the progress we\u2019ve made by creating an evolved entertainment experience that inspires meaningful, emotionally connected moments for our audiences,\u201d Lucas said. \u201cMy passion for the Hallmark brand has grown in deeply rewarding ways and will remain paramount as I continue to help guide Hallmark Media\u2019s future in a more strategically focused capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Lucas will continue to serve on the Hallmark Media board of directors.<\/p>\n

\n Lucas joined Hallmark from TV One in 2020, replacing Bill Abbott as the president and CEO of Crown Media Family Networks, a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards Inc.\u00a0She took over Hallmark following a particularly fraught holiday season that saw Hallmark remove a commercial featuring a same-sex couple and eventually\u00a0backtrack\u00a0and apologize for its decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n During her three-year run, Lucas \u2014 the daughter of Major League Baseball\u2019s first Black GM (for the Atlanta Braves) and the niece of the late and great Hall of Famer Hank Aaron \u2014 transformed Hallmark to better reflect society with more diverse and inclusive storylines, characters and programming. She transformed Hallmark\u2019s executive suites and inked partnerships with Peacock, YouTube and Hulu as well as free ad-supported platforms.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWonya is a multi-faceted industry veteran, passionate brand builder, and consummate strategic leader,\u201d said Perry. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the important work she has done to bring the expansive foundation of the iconic Hallmark brand to life and am fortunate that her insights will continue to positively impact the future of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
