Neil Drakman, creative director and vice president of Naughty Dogs at The Last of You Part 2, has been promoted, and will now serve as studio president alongside Evan Wells.

Wells also announced the news in a blog post today after an all-studio meeting, along with the promotion of Vice-Presidents to Morrison and Christian Guerling.

Mori was previously director of Naughty Dog Management, and co-director of Gyrling Programming.

Drackman has been in the role of vice president for almost three years after the 2018 promotion, and he was creative director for both The Last of You and the recently released sequel, as well as working on Unmarked and Jack and Daxer IP. He has been with Naughty Dogs since 2004.

“We have such an incredible team of naughty dogs, and being able to work alongside each of them is especially meaningful these days,” writes Wells of Promotions. “I feel proud for the team when I was able to recognize their achievements and contributions in the studio.”
