David Nagel B.A.

  • Vice President of Marketing & Communications
David Nagel

I lead the Marketing and Communications team at Woodwell Climate, building awareness, affinity, and action in support of our mission. The goal of my team is to expand awareness and familiarity of Woodwell through emotional, people-centered storytelling that speaks to the impact of climate change, our world-class science, risk and policy work, and our role in protecting life and livelihoods.

My 30+ year career has been devoted to storytelling, strategic brand positioning, and creating integrated marketing campaigns for large, global, consumer brands. I wanted to bring that corporate and agency experience to Woodwell to redefine the way climate change is communicated and foster greater momentum and a commitment to climate action.

I’m also an avid nature and wildlife photographer who lives in Marblehead, MA with my wife and dog. We have three children: two in college (undergrad), and a third who is working while attending graduate school.
