Joining Velasco at The Audio Hive is a group of experts including composer Jose Varon, former Guerrilla Games audio lead Rodney Gates, Shadow of the Tomb Raider voice director Rob King, and business development manager Koyo Sonae who's managed talent on a number of big-name projects including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Devil May Cry 5. 

Varon will lead the new opening as CEO. Gates will take on the role of sound director, while King steps into the mantle of casting director.
