Dynamic Person , gone too soon
It is with deep sadness that we share that David Bensadoun, Co-CEO of Pompeian, passed away on July 26, 2024, after a valiant and determined battle with cancer. David passed away at his home in New York surrounded by his parents, children and loved ones. At Pompeian’s helm, David inspired and led The Olive Oil People – a team of hundreds of farmers, craftspeople and staff here in Baltimore and around the world. David was loved and respected for his uniqueness, enthusiasm, boundless energy, values and wisdom. His passion for helping people eat and live well served as the heartbeat of our company, and his integrity, strength, and love are part of the immense legacy he is leaving— as well as his beautiful children, his countless friendships, and deep love for us, The Olive Oil People. A celebration of David’s inspiring life will be held at the Pompeian Baltimore headquarters in early August.
