He serves as president and CEO of both Extreme Music and Bleeding Fingers Music. He said, \u201cLondon is where my journey in music began, and the collaborative spirit I discovered here became the foundation for Bleeding Fingers. What started as an experiment in bringing composers together has grown into a community built on shared ideas, constant reinvention and a commitment to artistic integrity. This moment reaffirms our passion for shaping the sonic identity of the stories we help bring to life.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn expanding to London, the company will have new leadership in the U.K.<\/p>\n \n\tJesse McNamara will be the managing director of the London office.
