Leana Griessel is the new senior financial manager at Pupkewitz Megabuild and joined in October 2021.

Griessel hails from Gobabis and after matriculating from Gobabis Gymnasium in 2010, she pursued a Bachelor of Commerce degree at North-West University in South Africa.

"I completed my studies at North-West University where I obtained my Bachelor of Commerce degree in Chartered Accountancy in 2013 and my Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree in Chartered Accountancy in 2014. In 2015 I started my training contract at Ernst & Young (EY) in Windhoek. In 2018 I qualified as a chartered accountant," Griessel says.

In a world full of professionals, Griessel hopes that her ethic will be one that shows her passion for the line of work she is in.

"In my line of work, work needs to be completed timely and accurately. When you are passionate, you take pride in your work, you always put your best step forward, and ultimately you achieve excellence in it," she says.

Griessel says she learned most of the life lessons she holds dear from her mother.

"The life lesson is: Hard work is the most important key to success."

Bright future

Although Griessel is still new to Megabuild she says she is excited to learn different skills from top management.

"I'm excited about my current position. I still have a lot to learn with regard to the business and the industry and have valuable contributions to make in this position. By learning from top management, I would like to gain new skills and progress to the next level when appropriate."

She encourages young people to work hard and dream big. Furthermore, to be successful they need to be hardworking, disciplined, and persistent.
