New team members who joined us in September

BY Victoria Neame

A huge Assured welcome to our new guys: Lee, Samantha, and David who have joined us to work in our technical and sales teams. Here is an introduction to them!

Lee Mansell, Global Product Director

Lee has spent over 25 years in IT and Telephony across Service Providers, Distributors, and Software Development. The last 15 years have been focused on Product Management, responsible for CRM integration software and 2 of the UK’s largest hosted voice platforms.

“I’ve loved the first few weeks at Assured Data Protection. Its such an exciting time to join, and I’m delighted I can contribute to the continued growth of the company.

Outside of work I have 2 young daughters that take up a lot of my time. I also play Padel Tennis, enjoy running, and going exploring with my dog.”

Samantha Brewster, Client Services Account Executive

Sam began her sales career in high school in the telemarketing industry selling everything from newspapers to timeshares (which is the ultimate sales training bootcamp and fastest way to overcome rejection).

She went on to serve in many roles including 5 years as CEO of a specialty construction company and 8 years in the Senior Living industry in leadership roles including Corporate Director of HR and VP of Sales and Marketing. After leaving the Senior Living industry, she had the great fortune of landing at Terremark where she worked with several of the Assured Data Protection leaders as part of the Client Services team. After Terremark/Verizon, she then spent the next 14 years in various roles at Level 3/CenturyLink/Lumen and Windstream.

“I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to join such an amazing and talented team! It is exciting to be part of an organisation that is truly committed to their clients and to their team. I am looking forward to helping my clients and Assured Data Protection thrive!”

Sam likes to spend her time with family and friends and her two fur babies. She has a passion for technology, seniors, learning, laughing, documentaries, history, sci-fi, miniatures, Barbies, memes, puzzles, crafting, meeting new people, and useless trivia. She is also not mad at any food group and has never met a stranger.

David Walker, Technical Solutions Architect

David has been working in a technical capacity in IT within both public and private sectors for 18 years in Implementation, Training, and Architecture.

“I’m excited to be joining Assured due to their rapid growth within the sector and how welcome people have made me feel. I’m looking forwarding to growing within business and help Assured stay on an upward trajectory. In my spare time, I try to get to as many Boston United games as possible, home and away, I’m a car fanatic, and regularly attend BTCC meetings”
