Derrick has been in the workflow solutions industry for over 30 years. He has held numerous positions, including Major Account Representative at Copy World, Sales Manager at Business Alternatives, Print Management Specialist at Global Solutions Group and most recently, Vice President of Sales at Xerox. In 2011, Derrick decided to put into motion his desire to own a family business based on his beliefs and values. He also wanted to leverage his passion for establishing a partnership with his customers.

On July 26, 2012, he launched The Wilson Group, an MBE with a decentralized business model that streamlines business processes, increases employee productivity, and decreases hard and soft costs. Derrick produced a 644% growth in the first three years of business, earning The Wilson Group 1st place in the Pittsburgh Business Times “Top 100 Fastest Growing Companies” for 2016 and 1st place in the “Best Places to Work” (mid-size category) for 2018. We’re truly humbled and grateful.
