Warner Bros. Studio Facilities Promotes Kim Waugh to Executive Vice President, Worldwide Post Production Services, and Hires Duke Lim as Vice President, Post Production Sound February 28, 2019
Burbank, CA - Warner Bros. Studio Facilities has promoted Kim Waugh to Executive Vice President, Worldwide Post Production Services, and hired Duke Lim to serve as Vice President, Post Production Sound at the studio. The announcement was made today by Jon Gilbert, President, Worldwide Studio Facilities, Warner Bros.
In his new role, Waugh will be reporting to Gilbert and will continue to lead the post-production creative services senior management team, overseeing all marketing, sales, talent management, facilities and technical operations across all locations. Waugh has been instrumental in expanding the business beyond the studio's Burbank-based headquarters, first to Soho, London in 2012 with the acquisition of Warner Bros. De Lane Lea and then to New York in the 2015 acquisition of WB Sound in Manhattan. With top talent and state-of-the-art equipment at each facility, the group supports all creative post-production elements, ranging from sound mixing, editing and ADR to color correction and restoration, for Warner Bros.' clients worldwide. Waugh's creative services group features a vast array of award-winning artists, including the Oscar-nominated sound mixing team behind Warner Bros. Pictures' A Star is Born.
Additionally, Duke Lim has been hired to serve as Vice President, Post Production Sound, Warner Bros. Studio Facilities. Reporting to Waugh, Lim is responsible for overseeing the post-production sound creative services supporting Warner Bros.' film and television clients on a day-to-day basis across the studio's three facilities.
Under Kim's leadership, Warner Bros. Post Production Services has grown to become the industry's leading post production supplier, not only in our core features and television businesses, but expanding our services to interactive gaming, music and color finishing, said Gilbert. At all three of our locations, Kim has attracted award-winning creative talent who are sought out for Warner Bros. and third-party projects alike. Bringing in seasoned post executive Duke Lim will create an even stronger senior management team under Kim.
Waugh most recently served as Senior Vice President, Worldwide Post Production Services, Warner Bros. Studio Facilities, a post he had held since 2007. In this position, he managed the post production services senior management team, overseeing all talent, sales, facilities and operations on a day-to-day basis, with a primary focus on servicing all Warner Bros. Studios' post production sound clients. Prior to joining Warner Bros. as Vice President, Post Production Services in 2004, Waugh worked at Ascent Media Creative Sound Services, where he served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, managing sales and marketing for the company's worldwide divisional facilities. Prior to that, he spent more than 10 years at Soundelux, holding posts as president of Soundelux Vine Street Studios and Signet Soundelux Studios.
Lim has worked in the post production industry for more than 25 years, most recently posted at the Sony Sound Department, which he joined in 2014 to help expand the creative team and total number of mix stages. He began his career at Skywalker Sound South serving in various positions until their acquisition by Todd-AO in 1995, when Lim was given the opportunity to move into operations and began managing the mixing facilities for both its Hollywood location and the Todd-AO West studio in Santa Monica.
