He is the Audio Director at Improbable in London, UK, and was previously the Audio Lead at Studio Gobo in Brighton and Hove, directing the European audio team on Hogwarts Legacy. Before this, Alexander was the Head of Audio at the games division of Andy Serkis' Imaginarium in London and has worked on well-known AAA games including Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V: Online, and Madden NFL 17.
