Profile
Dave Ford is a founder and partner of Ocean Plastics Leadership Network. He is a meta-connector specializing in bringing together activist and industry leaders around environmental issues. He spearheaded the Ocean Plastics Leadership Summit in May of 2019, which took 165 corporate and NGO leaders into the heart of the Atlantic Garbage Patch, leading to the creation of the Ocean Plastics Leadership Network (OPLN).
During a transformative two years traveling the world, Dave spent ten nights in a hut in the Amazon with no electricity or running water, which deepened his connection to the natural world. He then toured mountains of waste in India and confronted both the world’s (and his own) consumption habits head-on. After watching glaciers collapse into the sea, Dave had found his calling and began his work leading sustainability efforts.
Dave lives with his wife and four-year-old daughter in the Hudson Valley, New York.
