“This is my… moment.”
Founder, visionary, and the reason Featherweight has had eleven homepage taglines this year. Preston pivots the company to whatever trended this morning, and he does it with total conviction every time. He has never read past a headline and considers this a strength. He speaks in keynote soundbites, announces strategy before anyone has checked whether it is possible, then looks at Sundar. What makes him bearable: he genuinely believes in the company and in all of them. He is the first to clap.
Black turtleneck, every day. Refers to himself as 'a builder.' Has a framed magazine cover in his office; it's a mock-up he had made.
