For the last 20 years, Paul Wilson has been a digital technologist, specializing in search, content strategy, and application development management. He earned his Master of Science from Carnegie Mellon University in information technology – eBusiness.

In August of 2017, Paul joined the Entrepreneurship Program as a full-time faculty member. In this role, he utilizes his industry experience to help students explore the vast potential of earning a living on the internet.
Academic Research
Paul’s research focuses on the role of digital marketing and entrepreneurship in emerging markets of developing countries. In particular, he is interested in solutions that can enhance the capability and performance of digital entrepreneurs globally. He has completed a field study in the Republic of Congo (2017) and in Ghana (2019) on how digital entrepreneurship training influences underserved entrepreneurs. Moving forward, Paul is studying the impact of entrepreneurship solutions ranging from ‘zero marketing budget’ models to the monetary impact of artificial influence in online entrepreneurship.
