Atkins Dondo

If ever there was a tale of adversity overcome without the soothing hand of privilege, it’s Atkins’ story.

Born on the wrong side of the tracks in Harare, Atkins left Zimbabwe as a young man to become a janitor in Canada, where he put himself through school to study finance and accounting. Fast-forward one MFin later, and Atkins oversees the Craftory’s finances as group controller with self-effacing charm.

When he’s not counting beans, he eats them with committed relish, because he knows that his strictly plant-based diet will only serve as unfair advantage in his competitive marathon-running. Inspirational? You bet.
