To Accelerate Growth, NetElixir Expands C-Suite by Appointing Paul Wilson to New CGO Role

Retail search marketing company NetElixir is embarking on an aggressive growth phase for 2018. To spearhead growth, NetElixir has expanded its C-Suite with digital marketing veteran Paul Wilson, who is taking on the role of Chief Growth Officer.

“I’m excited to be joining NetElixir and look forward to helping the company maximize its growth potential. Over the past year, NetElixir has grown 50% and we’re anticipating doubling revenue over the next year by adding new clients across both our full-service offerings as well as our self-serve paid search bid technology, LXRGuide. Our reputation for delivering tremendous results for retailers is the driving force behind our growth, and we’re on a mission to continue helping retailers exceed their eCommerce revenue goals,” said Wilson.
