US-born April was a fast-track student who enrolled in college at 14, graduating from Stanford with an undergraduate degree in Economics, followed by an MBA. In her first job as management consultant at McKinsey & Company, she became an emerging market expert, then project manager, before moving on to a Chief Strategy Officer position at Central Pattana Plc. Seeing the critical role that technology played in the organisation’s transformation roadmap led her to Google, where she now leads Google Cloud as Country Manager for Thailand. She believes her strengths that have taken her so far in her career are as an emerging market expert, a quick problem solver, and her resilience with a can-do mindset. At Google, she focusses on building digital skills through certificate courses and training for young tech professionals to learn from the experts at Google, as well as helping SMEs build their digital footprints. Outside of work, family and adventure travel are her passions—she recently did a family trek to Everest Base Camp with her 9-year-old daughter.
