Early life & career
Robert Wilson grew up in the sunny climes of Jamaica, where he completed his education with the encouragement and support of his close-knit family network.
After school, a decade-long career in telecommunications saw him travel the Caribbean — living in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Cayman Islands, and his hometown of Kingston. His many and varied roles included general manager, project manager, consumer sales manager, customer services manager, and channel sales manager for some of the region's largest telecommunications providers.
Having responsibility for managing cash flow, people, and property in some of the region's biggest companies gave Rob invaluable insight that he carries forward to the present day.
Into domain brokerage
In 2018, Rob was looking for a new challenge that would allow him to spend more time with his two young children, and came across Cayman-based domain brokerage Uniregistry.
He joined the company as a broker to learn the industry, and was astonished to find that domains "routinely sell for hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars." During his two-year tenure, he negotiated the acquisition and sale of over 200 domain names.
Founding Doctorbird
In early 2020, after moving to the UK, Rob joined saw.com as a domain name consultant, undertaking domain brokerage, appraisal, and portfolio management services.
With extensive skills in hand and wishing to build a stronger personal relationship with his customers, in 2022 Rob set up his own domain name brokerage, Doctorbird.
He's excited to connect his customers with their preferred domain name and support them in achieving their business goals through easy access, clear branding, and consistency. Rob follows what he calls "digital breadcrumbs" to find domain name owners and their up-to-date contact details before carrying out fair negotiations for all parties.
In addition, Rob offers outbound marketing services for select domain owners looking to sell their assets for the best price possible.
