We love to see our Mini-MBA alum Kim Chackal recognized for the that she is! We loved having her and hope to see her again soon.

Kim Chackal is anything but conventional — and that’s exactly the point.

As the VP of Sales & Marketing at Equifruit, Kim is redefining what it means to lead with mission, humour, and unapologetic boldness. From building a brand that refuses to blend in, to fighting for Fairtrade and shaking up an entrenched global supply chain, she’s proving that bananas can be badass.

In our latest interview, Kim shares the personal story that fuels her fearless leadership, how Equifruit is winning hearts (and shelf space) with its unconventional voice, and why self-awareness, and community, are non-negotiables in the fight for change.
