We’re hearing that Mike Tierney, whose resume is longer than the Magna Carta, has officially been dubbed Global Head of Programming at Amazon.
Said Director Ryan Redington: "In this role, Mike will report directly to me and be responsible for setting our global programming strategy while working closely with each territory lead to ensure we are delivering a great localized programming experience for our customers.
