Jay Willis - Mometrix Test Preparation

Professional Background

With more than 30 years of experience in educational publishing, Jay Willis leads institutional partnerships and revenue strategy for Mometrix Test Preparation, helping schools, libraries, healthcare systems, and statewide education initiatives expand access to high-quality test preparation resources.

Since joining Mometrix in 2009, Jay has led the company’s institutional expansion and the growth of Mometrix eLibrary. He played a central role in the design and expansion of this cloud-based platform, which provides nationwide digital access to a comprehensive collection of study guides, flashcards, and practice questions across hundreds of exams. In addition to helping shape the platform, Jay developed the institutional sales framework that enables schools, workforce programs, and training organizations to deliver accessible, scalable, and affordable resources to the communities they serve.

Prior to his tenure at Mometrix, Jay spent 15 years with Southwestern/Great American Opportunities as a fundraising consultant and sales manager. During that time, he conducted more than 30,000 in-person sales calls while recruiting and managing teams of up to 35 representatives. This experience working directly with educators and community leaders provided the foundation for his later work building strategic partnerships across the education and workforce development sectors.

Advocacy & Community

Jay and the team at Mometrix have actively supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) through local and regional fundraising and advocacy efforts. In 2025, the 40th annual CITGO Lake Charles Refinery Golf Classic raised over $695,000 to support research and care for individuals and families affected by neuromuscular diseases—an effort in which Jay and his family played key advocacy roles.

Jay’s commitment to accessibility is personal. His son, Benjamin Willis, lives with spinal muscular atrophy and has served as an MDA Ambassador, advocating for disability rights and community participation. Benjamin was also appointed to the Texas Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities, helping represent Texans with disabilities and inform disability policy across the state.

Supporting Educational Leaders

An advocate for professional mentorship, Jay also hosted the Educators Lead podcast. Across more than 130 episodes, he interviewed education leaders from across the country, offering inspiration and practical advice for those growing into leadership roles.

Jay is a graduate of Northwest Missouri State University and resides in the Beaumont area with his wife and four children.
