It is with great sadness that we confirm the unexpected death of Martijn van der Woude, VP Global Business Development and Marketing of PPDS, who passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Monday 21 April 2025.
A colleague, a dear friend, and a true business leader, Martijn 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. Martijn will be truly missed by us all.
In his private life, a pilot in every sense of the word, a devoted husband and father with a love for the skies. Our thoughts are with all in Martijn’s family.
