Hi, I’m April.

I’ve spent nearly two decades building within hospitality technology, from Preferred Hotels & Resorts to Orbitz, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Mews. I’ve worked across brand, OTA, and SaaS environments, developing a deep understanding of how distribution, commerce, and operational systems connect at global scale.

At IHG, I led global connectivity supporting over $5B in annual revenue, working across CRS, PMS, GDS, and third-party ecosystems. I supported executive negotiations with Booking.com and Expedia, managed partnerships with third-party integrators like DerbySoft, and led efforts to evolve IHG’s groups booking capabilities. I remain active in advancing industry standards through HEDNA, OpenTravel, and HTNG/AHLA.

I design enterprise-scale, API-first hospitality platforms that connect strategy to execution. I align executives, mentor product teams, and translate complexity into scalable systems that deliver measurable impact. As AI reshapes hospitality, I’m focused on building the intelligent platforms that will define what comes next.

I lead with high standards and high care. I align stakeholders, mentor product teams, and bring clarity to complex ecosystems. I build systems that scale, commercially, technically, and organizationally.

Let's Connect

Approach & Perspective

  • I operate where commercial strategy, technical architecture, and organizational alignment intersect. My strength is seeing the system as a whole to identify leverage points, simplify complexity, and design solutions that scale across brands, properties, partners, and platforms.

    I thrive in high-stakes environments where clarity is the unlock. Whether navigating enterprise negotiations, influencing roadmap priorities, or aligning distributed teams, I translate ambition into execution. I bring teams together, provide structure to ambiguity and momentum to transformation.

  • I believe strong systems require strong teams. I mentor product and technologists to think beyond features and toward ecosystems. I expect rigor, clarity, and ownership and I bring the same to myself.

    My leadership style is simple: high standards, high care. I care about my team and the work we produce so that together, we: deliver outcomes, build trust, and make the messy make sense.

  • Hospitality technology is entering a structural shift. AI is no longer an experiment layered onto legacy system. It is reshaping how we think about the way we get things done at the hotel and above property. It’s implications in every aspect of the business from distribution to operations, and decision-making, reverberates across hoteliers small and large.

    I’m focused on helping design that next generation of intelligent, interoperable, API-first systems. Systems that automate friction, surface insight in real time, and enable brands and operators to move with precision in a dynamic market.

Work With Me

I partner with hospitality technology organizations operating at enterprise scale, particularly where platform strategy, AI, and intelligent systems and distribution intersect.

Ways to engage:

• Director and senior product leadership roles
• Enterprise platform and AI strategy conversations
• Industry panels, executive roundtables, and conference speaking engagements
• Standards and ecosystem collaboration initiatives

If you’re building the next generation of hospitality systems, I’m interested in the conversation.
