“I am beyond excited with the opportunity to join 4J Studios at this time. My family loved our previous time in Scotland and it is wonderful to be coming back. My time in LA working with some of the world’s biggest entertainment companies gives me a great perspective on how to build lasting and creatively exciting game franchises. I look forward to working with the superb talent at 4J Studios to create a new generation of blockbuster games.”
