But not just yet. Bryant gave his official 13-month notice and will retire from BMI in June of 2014. Bryant said, "I've been privileged to lead this company I love, one of the world?s greatest music companies. I began my career with BMI in 1972 and after four decades with the company and 10 years as CEO, I?m excited to be moving back to my hometown of Nashville where my family and I will build a farm on beautiful land purchased by my folks with money earned from their BMI catalog."
BMI Chairman of the Board Susan Davenport Austin said, ?Del is a tremendous team builder and leader. His stewardship has helped build BMI into a global brand and the premier music rights organization. His passion for this industry and for the songwriting community we serve has been evident throughout his substantial tenure, both in the services and support BMI offers its constituents, and in the relationships he has built around the world. Del?s expertise is invaluable and we are thrilled that he will continue to be a part of the BMI family.?
The board of directors has formed a committee to choose Bryant?s successor and Bryant added, "I look forward to working with the board during the transition period, and to supporting the company as a consultant after retiring as CEO."
