Erika Takeuchi leads the Fire TV Global Brand Marketing team, and has a weakness for any streaming puns (daystreaming anyone?). She can frequently be found snuggling on the couch with her pitbull rescue and watching any tennis tournament that’s live. She is currently watching Little Fires Everywhere (so good!), catching up on Outlander S3, and watching replays of Wimbledon.
