Meet the Team at Luden

Here are the people behind the magic

Jonathan Liebenberg
Founder and Director
Nickname: Jonty

Luden Digital is Jonathan’s brainchild. While his academic and corporate background lies in finance and investment, he was quickly drawn towards the wonders of the Internet (shower thought: it’s kind of the home of everything we know as a species).

He is fanatical about music and the outdoors. He is a multi-instrumentalist, lives for time in the ocean, and is obsessed with the African bushveld. He also reads a lot, writes a lot, and talks even more.

For the last 5 years, Jonathan has ranked numerous websites onto the first page of Google, delivered elegant digital solutions to multiple happy partners and built a team that does the same.

Oh yeah, and Jonathan sounds a bit biblical, so just call him Jonty.

Ashleigh Jacqueline Saunders
Chief Operating Officer
Nickname: Jay Quellin

Ashleigh studied in Stellenbosch, South Africa, where she obtained her BPhil Honors in Marketing Management at The IMM Graduate School of Marketing.

The psychological element of Marketing excites her most and she finds that you learn something new every day in this dynamic, fast-paced, industry.

An animal-lover who enjoys nature, she can often be found spending time with her family on their farm in Botswana, her home country. When she isn’t there, she is eating out and socializing with friends over the weekend.

Her two mottos in life are:

“What you put in is what you get out” and “Work hard, play hard, be kind.”

​​Paige Karla
Head of Strategy
Nickname: Bubbles

Paige is both a qualified accountant and creative. She has recently completed a 4 year business science degree at UCT but despite her finance and accounting major, she is much more partial to the creative and digital side of business and has decided to pursue it wholeheartedly.

In her spare time, you’ll find her trying to reach her overly ambitious yearly reading goal, playing around on Adobe Illustrator, attempting to write the next novel sensation or testing out the iced coffee in Cape Town’s variety of cute cafés!

She is very motivated and enjoys pushing herself to be the best possible version. She believes that hard work truly does pay off and there really is no limitation to what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it!
