Fahim Khondaker

“My first school didn't have running water or flushing toilets (it was in South Africa during Apartheid), my second had 15 sports fields and an Olympic sized swimming pool. Today, I am a qualified Chartered Accountant in a senior leadership position at BDO.

This extraordinary journey has helped me develop a core set of values including gratitude and empathy. My unique experiences and perspective on life has provided me with an ability to very quickly develop strong relationships with others and has inspired me to work with people who want to improve our society.”
