About

René Metayer is a Senior Marketing & Sales Director with over 15 years of experience building scalable acquisition systems for multi-location businesses. He has managed multi-million dollar annual marketing budgets and revenue systems across multi-location businesses in several industries, leading teams that span marketing, sales, call centers, and digital operations.

His career spans three countries and two continents. He has served as CEO, led marketing for multi-office organizations, driven multichannel innovation at one of Latin America's largest financial institutions, and founded a consulting practice serving healthcare, real estate, e-commerce, and professional services clients.

He founded Leads Under Control after seeing the same pattern across every industry: businesses invest heavily in marketing but lose customers because no system exists to capture and follow up with every lead. Today, he leads a hybrid team of human specialists and AI-powered agents that covers every aspect of marketing, sales, operations, and technology — delivering enterprise-grade infrastructure to service businesses that need it most.
