Dave Mansell

CEO | Strategic Advisor & Growth Consultant @ Accentiq Solutions

About

I build lead generation systems for service contractors — helping businesses that are running strong operationally but losing ground to competitors with a sharper digital presence. Website, local SEO, CRM automation — built as a system, not a patchwork. Before this, I spent years in fintech building partner pipelines and managing a book of high-value clients, while coaching new BDRs to hit target fast. That work sharpened my eye for where process breaks down and how to fix it without adding overhead. I lead sales and delivery myself, which means I stay close to what actually works in the field — not just in the deck. Bilingual in English and French. Comfortable at the executive level on both sides of the border.
