MICROMINE is known as the leading Software Solution Brand in Mining. We’re loved for our innovative mining solutions but also our people. Meet MICROMINE Africa’s Karien Louw who is the Business Solutions Administrator for MICROMINE South Africa.
Who are you?
My name is Karien Louw and I was born and raised in Pretoria, South-Africa. I love arts and crafts, nature and animals and enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband Hercules, who is a Mechanical Engineer. I am a self-confessed coffee and red wine snob and I absolutely love a good pizza.
What is your background in Mining?
I do not have a Mining specific background but am proud to say I have been working at MICROMINE for almost 15 years. During this time I have had the opportunity to attend in-house industry related training sessions, as well as training conducted by Snowden on Geology and Mining.
Why do you love using MICROMINE’s products?
I believe in our products because I see our clients’ satisfaction and loyalty. Our clients not only value our software and what it can do, but also honestly enjoy using the software, which is such a pleasure to witness.
Why do you love working at MICROMINE?
I respect MICROMINE for valuing their employees and I enjoy working for a smaller company because it gives me the opportunity to really get to know my colleagues. The flexible hours are also a bonus!
How does your role at MICROMINE Africa add value?
I handle Licensing and Annual Licensing for the South-African branch of MICROMINE and offer a friendly familiar face whenever I deal with our clients. I put great focus on client support and play a major role in supporting the sales team.
