ABOUT DAVID VAN DER SANDEN
My career has been defined by helping organizations navigate complexity with confidence, communicate with intention, and cultivate cultures where people feel deeply connected—to their work, to one another, and to a shared purpose.I’ve worked across industries and continents, guiding teams through transformation, aligning people around meaningful direction, and turning communication into a force that drives clarity, trust, and real engagement—not just noise from the top.Today, I lead Internal Communications and Engagement at Patagonia, where my focus is on making sure employees don’t just understand the company’s purpose—they feel part of it. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and culture, translating decisions into narratives people can relate to, rally around, and act on. From evolving how we work to uniting global teams, I strive to keep communication clear, grounded, and unmistakably human.
