MORRIS COUNTY — Longtime Delta Dental President and CEO Dennis G. Wilson is retiring at the end of the year, paving the way for Paul Di Maio to take over the post beginning in 2025. After 11 years of transformative leadership, Dennis G. Wilson, President and CEO of Delta Dental of New Jersey and Connecticut (DDNJCT), will retire effective December 31. Succeeding him will be Paul Di Maio, currently Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Chief Administrative Officer, who will assume the roles of President and CEO starting January 1, 2025.

Wilson joined DDNJCT in 2013, driving significant growth and enhancing the organization’s outward focus. In his first year, he established a new corporate social responsibility program and facilitated engagement with business, community, and charitable organizations across New Jersey and Connecticut.

Wilson spearheaded several strategic initiatives, including targeting individual and small group sales, creating DDCT as a separate entity, and expanding the DDNJCT portfolio to include vision insurance. His tenure also saw the introduction of unique small businesses and individual products and the market’s first Special Health Care Needs program supporting individuals and families with disabilities.

Although retiring, Wilson will continue to serve the organization as a Special Advisor until June 30, 2025. Wilson reflected on his tenure: “Leading DDNJCT has been a true privilege, and I am thankful for the hard work and cooperation of the Board and our associates in positioning the company for growth and continued success into the future. I am also proud of how our Board, senior leadership, and associates have embraced the company’s efforts to engage in the community and sincerely participate in supporting causes and activities in meaningful ways.”

Di Maio joined DDNJ in 2016 as Senior Vice President and General Counsel, providing invaluable advice and guidance to the Board and management. In 2022, he was appointed Chief Administrative Officer, successfully leading the Legal, Compliance, Human Resources, Audit, and Special Investigations departments. Di Maio has consistently demonstrated his leadership abilities and his capacity to handle diverse opportunities and challenges.

A Massachusetts native, Dennis Wilson received a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Massachusetts and credits his family’s military experience and his love for sports for his work ethic, drive, and approach to leadership. A devoted husband and mentor, Dennis is a proud survivor of quintuple bypass surgery and continues to share his personal health story to encourage others to embrace preventative healthcare.
