Head of Brand Engagement at Patagonia Australia and New Zealand, Sean Doherty is a journalist and author who has spent more than three decades reporting on surf culture, identity, and industry, with a humorous, self-deprecating, Aussie larrikin tone.
Empowering, educating, and activating a coastal constituency around Australia, Sean has connected with mainstream ocean folk and used the 'old story' to the movement's advantage.
Watershed Chats are deep dives with experts and those having a go at building and dreaming new ways for a healthy and habitable future on Planet Ocean.
