Paul M. Wilson

Paul M. Wilson is the CEO of NetReputation, a Sarasota, Florida-based company recognized for its expertise in online reputation management, crisis management, public relations, and digital marketing. He is responsible for shaping the company’s long-term direction while ensuring that client needs remain at the forefront of every initiative. His leadership focuses on building a strong operational foundation, aligning teams, and delivering consistent, measurable outcomes for clients across industries.

Paul brings years of experience working with executive teams on revenue growth, organizational alignment, and go-to-market strategy. His approach is grounded in practical execution, where clear planning and disciplined processes support sustainable expansion.

Before taking on his role at NetReputation, he founded Massive Growth Partners, also known as Paul M. Wilson Consulting. Through this firm, he worked with CEOs and leadership teams to build scalable, growth-oriented businesses. His advisory work extended across companies at various stages, from early development to mature organizations seeking to refine their operations.

Paul partnered closely with leadership teams to identify key challenges and implement structured solutions. His work included mentoring sales and marketing teams, improving internal communication, and aligning daily activities with broader strategic goals. Several organizations he supported achieved strong growth and were later acquired by private equity firms, reflecting the effectiveness of his methods.

In addition, Paul worked with digital marketing agencies and technology companies, helping them strengthen sales processes, improve lead generation, and expand into new markets. His expertise also included pricing strategy, negotiation, hiring, and compensation planning. He guided companies in implementing systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, BigCommerce, and eTail Insights to improve efficiency and reporting. His involvement often continued through acquisition processes, where he provided guidance from planning through execution.

A significant part of his professional work has been focused on developing structured sales systems. Paul Wilson created the training program “Winning Every Stage of the Sales Process,” which provides a clear framework for managing sales activities from initial outreach to long-term client retention.

This program emphasizes consistency, preparation, and accountability at every stage of the sales cycle. Multiple organizations have adopted it to improve performance and create repeatable processes that support ongoing revenue growth. Paul's work in this area highlights the importance of combining strategy with disciplined execution.

Earlier in his career, Paul held leadership roles at iProspect, including Chief Revenue Officer. During his time there, the company experienced significant expansion, growing from a regional agency into a global organization. He played a key role in building scalable sales teams and supporting steady revenue growth. His contributions were part of the company’s successful acquisition by Aegis Media, now part of Dentsu.

Paul later joined RKG’s executive leadership team, where he helped increase revenue from $5 million to $30 million within three years. This growth was driven by developing a consultative sales approach, entering new market segments, and securing enterprise clients such as Nordstrom, Ashley Furniture, and Atlassian. His efforts contributed to the company’s acquisition by Merkle, further integrating it into the Dentsu network.

At NetElixir, where Paul served as Chief Growth Officer, he led both sales and marketing teams. During his tenure, the company achieved a 57 percent increase in revenue. He focused on refining strategy, improving team performance, and building strong partnerships with organizations such as BrightEdge and Miva. He also worked on enhancing pricing strategies and increasing contract value.

Paul is actively involved in charitable initiatives, particularly through his role as co-chair of the City of Champions golf tournament. This event supports the Prostate Cancer Foundation and has raised significant funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Mass General Brigham. His involvement reflects a dedication to supporting research and improving patient care.

Through these efforts, Paul continues to contribute to causes that extend beyond his professional responsibilities, demonstrating a commitment to community engagement.

Based in Wellesley, Paul is also involved in residential real estate alongside his family. Their business focuses on the luxury market in the greater Boston area, providing tailored services to clients. The group has completed high-value transactions and built a reputation for consistent performance.

Paul M. Wilson continues to apply his experience in leadership, consulting, and business development to help organizations achieve structured growth while maintaining a focus on long-term success.

Jay Manley

Jay Manley

When he’s not helping finance teams untangle their payments messes, Jay is usually strapped into something loud, fast, or airborne—sometimes all three in the same week.

In the office, he’s a visionary and a natural leader for Accounts Payable teams: the kind of operator who doesn’t just “optimize a process,” but rethinks how AP should work end-to-end—simplifying the chaos, modernizing the tech stack, and rallying teams around a clear path from manual grind to automated control.

He’s also a multi-rated pilot (powered, glider, and unmanned—rotor and fixed-wing) who puts those skills to work with the Civil Air Patrol on search-and-rescue missions, logging real cockpit time when it actually counts.

Back on the ground, he’s a lifelong motorsports addict: a season points champion who’s finished 3rd out of 330 cars in divisional competition—and then decided that wasn’t chaotic enough, so he went all-in on the art (and smoke) of drift driving.

And when things “slow down,” it’s only by Jay’s standards: playing guitar in a band, disappearing off-grid in the mountains, or sending a snowmobile through deep powder like it personally offended him. If it runs on fuel, flies, or makes your heart rate question your life choices, there’s a decent chance Jay’s either done it… or is already planning the next stunt.
