He joined PPDS in 2019, and enjoyed a career spanning more than 25 years in business development, sales and marketing, and general management. Now, many are paying tribute to the individual who served as its VP of Global Business Development and Marketing.
Martijn Van Der Woude died April 21 of cardiac arrest. In a statement, PPDS said he has been “an intrinsic, highly regarded and respected member of the PPDS and wider TPV Technology team since 2019. He will be remembered as a transformational and entrepreneurial enabler — a champion in the AV community globally.”
Van Der Woude is well-known across the AV industry and before joining PPDS served as the co-founder and CEO of a Hong Kong and China-based dvLED manufacturer for the sport, media and events markets.
Before this, he served as the founder of a Netherlands-based international software and consultancy company.
“As many will know, Martijn was also a passionate advocate for driving and promoting sustainability in the AV industry, steering PPDS’ sustainability strategy and commitments to bringing more environmentally conscious solutions to market,” the company said in a statement. “Above all, Martijn was an incredibly kind and generous man. He will be greatly missed.”
Outside of his work with PPDS, Van Der Woude was known as a pilot, husband and father.
