Chip Wilson, CEO - 360 Solutions LLC

Chip Wilson, founder and CEO of 360 Solutions, LLC, is a visionary who has an overwhelming passion for helping others develop their entrepreneurial spirit. With extensive knowledge of the training and development industry, Chip regularly has the opportunity to share his skills and successes with others.

After graduating from Graceland University , with an education degree, Chip began his business career under the umbrella of Fortune 500 companies. Unfortunately for them, Chip wanted the challenge of an entrepreneurial lifestyle. So, at the age of 26, he started his first training and consulting business in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. After two successful years, Chip sold that company for a substantial profit.

He then became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a consulting company in Waco, Texas where he was responsible for over 700 accounts nationwide. In his time there, Chip contributed greatly to the company’s bottom line, but desired a career that was more personally and professionally rewarding.

In January 1999, 360 Solutions was founded. It has quickly flourished to become a multi-million dollar, debt-free business with over 300 independent consultants worldwide. 360 Solutions is an international developer of training and consulting curriculum that specializes in working with individuals interested in starting their own training and consulting business.

Under Chip’s ingenuity and creative vision, 360 Solutions has evolved from focusing solely on organizational development training to a complete business optimization systems provider. The addition of high-tech, high-touch marketing and financial applications to our well-received organizational development materials, has made 360 Solutions stand out against the competition.
