Bio
Leon Knoetze
Liesel is a dedicated, hard working, passionate and outspoken professional. Her attitude and professionalism towards her work is beyond compare. While her experience in revenue, reservations, systems, training and operations is a big asset to any business, she also assists with ideas on how to manage a business and drive revenue and experiences.. Her eye for detail and outgoing personality makes it fun to have her as a colleague.
Lindsey Ann Hankin
Liesel and I worked closely together during our time at Lion Roars Hotels & Lodges. She is a caring colleague who is committed to her job and always willing to go above and beyond. I greatly admire her sharp mind, her leadership qualities, and her analytical approach; especially when it comes to Group revenue, budgeting and forecasting. She is a strong and talented leader, having managed the central reservations team for the past 3 years. It has been an absolute pleasure working with, and learning from Liesel, and I am convinced that she will be a great asset to any team.
