About April Romero

April Romero is a project and transformation leader, keynote speaker, and doctoral student whose work sits at the intersection of project execution, organizational change, leadership, and workforce transformation.

During nearly three decades in project management, April has helped cross-functional stakeholders navigate complex initiatives, shifting priorities, technology change, organizational pressure, and the human realities that determine whether a project’s intended value is achieved. She holds the Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential and advanced agile certifications, including CSP-SM®, CSM®, and CSPO®.

April is currently researching how Generation Z’s expectations may influence organizational change management adoption within project environments. Her work brings an emerging generational perspective to questions project leaders have faced for decades: Why do people accept some changes and resist others? What builds trust during transformation? How should leaders communicate, engage, train, and listen when the workforce itself is changing?

Onstage, April combines real-world stories, research-informed insight, humor, and practical frameworks. Her audiences leave with more than inspiration, they leave better prepared to lead people through change.

If you’re looking for a speaker who connects leadership principles to real behavior change customized for your audience, let’s talk.
