Minneapolis, MN—January 15, 2016—GLS / NEXT Precision Marketing, a strategic marketing technology company, announces it has elevated Jayme Wisely to Chief Executive Officer/President. Most recently, Wisely has served as COO/President where he led the executive team and spearheaded a strategic evolution from a Printing Impressions Top 100 North American printing company to a broad-based marketing technologies organization.
