From $100M to $600M: Building Revenue Engines that Scale

Jim Wilson

I’m passionate about a lot of things — family, travel, staying active, helping others succeed… and yes, golf. If I’m honest, staying fit is mostly about keeping my golf game sharp.

My journey into tech began at Flexera in 2002, where I led the deployment of Salesforce. It wasn’t just a system rollout — it was a catalyst. We used it to drive transformational growth, and I saw firsthand how the right technology, combined with smart strategy, can unlock serious business value. That experience led me to Salesforce, where I spent the next 13 years helping companies do exactly that — but at scale.

As one of the original VP leaders in Salesforce’s Commercial Manufacturing segment, I helped grow North American revenue from $100M to $600M. I led a team of 45, managed a $120M portfolio, and drove year-over-year growth through new customer acquisition, digital transformation, and operational rigor. I also played a key role in launching Manufacturing Cloud and Auto Cloud, closed multiple $1M+ value deals, and built relationships that translated into real, measurable outcomes.

Now, through The Sales Cycle, I help Series A–D startups apply the same enterprise-grade playbook to their go-to-market strategy. I work with founders and revenue leaders to sharpen their message, refine their pitch, and connect with investors, customers, and stakeholders in a way that drives belief and drives results.

Because in sales, as in life, passion moves people. And the best way to share that passion? Tell a story worth believing in.
