Hi, I’m April Dawn Brooks

I’m a strategic, execution-focused leader with 20+ years of experience driving organizational growth across Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurial ventures. My work centers on translating executive vision into clear, executable processes, programs, and strategies that deliver measurable results—particularly in environments defined by complexity, scale, change, and growth.

My career has been built working directly alongside CEOs, COOs, executive and field leadership teams, where I’ve held responsibility for operations, enterprise project management, finance-adjacent execution, reporting, and company-wide communication. I design and lead the operating and project management infrastructure that allows leaders to stay focused on vision, growth, and decision-making—while execution remains anchored to the institutional plan and mission, with teams aligned around clear objectives at every stage.

I’ve led large-scale projects and programs spanning mergers and acquisitions, nationwide sales enablement, enterprise technology migrations, digital transformation, product launches, and rapid expansion—including execution across 1,800+ locations and 5,000+ employees. My background includes P&L responsibility, M&A integration support, and the application of disciplined project and program management practices to simplify complexity, clarify ownership, manage risk, and drive consistent execution across distributed organizations.

I work at the intersection of strategy, leadership, execution, project management, and communication—where ideas are pressure-tested, plans are operationalized, and outcomes are owned. I’m known for blending analytical rigor with heart-centered leadership to foster alignment, accountability, and sustainable growth, and for creating environments where teams understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
