Top SchoolPreston So is a commercial and product executive who blends 22 years of software experience with deep expertise at the intersection of content, design, and code, currently serving as Chief Commercial Officer at React Bricks. He has 11 years of leading multinational, cross-functional teams and has repeatedly translated visionary content and CMS concepts into revenue-driving products for enterprises and platform vendors.
