Zach Preston is a Senior Product Manager in San Francisco with 9 years of technical and product experience and an MBA from Michigan Ross, currently building AI/ML solutions for sourcing and spend at Workday. He combines hands-on engineering roots—from C# UI features and cross-border coordination at National Instruments—to strategically delivering ML-driven products for Fortune 500 clients at Fresh Consulting. Known for translating customer needs into measurable business value, he has led 15-engineer teams on multi-million-dollar projects and repeatedly won repeat engagements. Zach pairs quantitative rigor (predictive modeling and R-based analyses) with customer-facing instincts developed across R&D, sales, and treasury rotations, enabling pragmatic product roadmaps that drive adoption. A practical systems thinker, he’s comfortable owning the end-to-end lifecycle from technical architecture to go-to-market strategy, and has a track record of turning abandoned features into celebrated user journeys.
