CEO. Visionary. Innovator. Global Citizen. Preska Thomas is rewriting what it means to lead in tech—and doing it on her own terms.
At first glance, you might think Preska Thomas has somehow found more hours in a day than the rest of us. Her schedule stretches across continents, time zones, and industries—but never thins out in purpose or passion.
As the founder and CEO of DebitMyData, a groundbreaking platform empowering people to monetize their digital footprint, Preska doesn’t just talk innovation—she lives it. DebitMyData is the world’s first platform that enables individuals to earn directly from their digital footprint. Combining AI, ethical data brokerage, and financial empowerment, the platform is redefining personal data ownership for the modern age. From dawn to well past midnight, her day is a living blueprint for every entrepreneur who believes success isn’t built in silence, but in sacrifice, strategy, and soul.
Rising with Intention
While much of the world is still hitting snooze, Preska is already lacing up her focus. Her mornings begin early—with silence, reflection, and planning. Before stepping into meetings or making high-stake decisions, she takes a moment to align her energy with her mission: to shift the digital economy by putting people back in charge of their own data.
The Data Revolution Never Sleeps
By breakfast, she’s already leading conversations across- Europe, Asia, US, and more. Preska prefers building a global team not just because of the timezone advantages, but because she believes the best talent comes from diversity of thought. Her staff hails from different continents, each one handpicked not for degrees, but for drive.
“I don’t hire resumes. I hire rebels who believe in the future we’re creating.” — Preska Thomas
Mentorship & Movement
Preska doesn’t just lead a tech company—she cultivates leaders. Whether she’s reviewing AI hiring protocols, mentoring a young woman in blockchain, or reviewing creative proposals with her brand team, she shows up fully. Her leadership style is a masterclass in presence: direct, intentional, and anchored in service.
The Night Shift CEO
As night falls in the U.S., her virtual office lights up again. While most executives unplug, Preska logs back in—this time with teams in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia. Because when you’re building something borderless, time is no constraint. Her team often finds her on late-night video calls, brainstorming over platform updates, reviewing UX data, or checking in on community grants.
Preska Thomas isn’t the only tech CEO burning the midnight oil—visionaries like Elon Musk, Marissa Mayer, and Jack Dorsey have all been known to work late into the night, even sleeping in their offices when necessary. Like them, Preska understands that when you’re building something meant to shift the world, comfort takes a back seat to commitment. For her, late nights aren’t a burden—they’re a badge of purpose.
Why She’s One of the Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs of Our Time
Preska Thomas isn’t just a CEO. She’s the embodiment of what’s possible when innovation meets empathy. Her days are long, her mission is massive, and her conviction is contagious. Whether she’s negotiating with Silicon Valley investors or empowering a content creator/ entrepreneur, she carries the same fire: to make sure no one is invisible in the digital age.
