My Journey

My Journey

Quote

From a thriving career in retail to corporate leadership and ultimately forging my own entrepreneurial path, my journey has been one of transformation and growth.

Stepping into entrepreneurship empowered me to take control of my professional destiny, unlock deeper creativity, and pursue my passions—while making a real impact on small businesses worldwide.

 

With resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I’m not just building a business—I’m paving the way for others to do the same, inspiring entrepreneurs to carve their own paths with confidence and purpose.

Where It Began

Working in a mall

My career started in retail, where I honed my skills in managing a bustling clothing store. From merchandising to team leadership, I learned the ins and outs of providing exceptional customer service. Today, that focus on putting clients first is still at the heart of everything I do.​

Welcome To Start-Ups

I entered the world of generalist roles, where I wore many hats and built my skills across diverse industries, from e-commerce and agtech management to non-profits. Though the responsibilities varied, they all had one thing in common: improving operational processes and driving efficiency across distributed teams.​

With a background in executive support and operational management, I've always been drawn to the intersection of these two critical functions. But it wasn't until I discovered project management that I truly found my niche. Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to build a PMO from scratch and scale operations for a fast-paced fintech company, delivering results that have helped these organizations grow and succeed.

April Eldridge Consulting is Born!

After an unexpected layoff, I had a game-changing realization—with remote work on the rise, why not bring my expertise to SMBs and entrepreneurs on a fractional basis? I saw a growing need for executive-level support among businesses that couldn’t justify a full-time hire. So, I stepped in as a strategic partner, seamlessly integrating with teams to streamline operations, drive efficiency, and support scalable growth—delivering high-impact leadership without the full-time overhead.

So, Who is April?

Driven, Strategic, Family-Centered

Hi, I’m April! I’m incredibly fortunate to share my life with my wonderful spouse of 20+ years and our two amazing children, who constantly inspire me. We call the outskirts of Raleigh, NC home, where our furry companions—Luna, our beloved cat, and Bucky, our energetic Mini Bernadoodle—keep us on our toes.

At my core, I’m driven by execution. According to Gallup’s CliftonStrengths, all my top five strengths lie in this area, meaning I thrive on turning ideas into action, creating order from chaos, and ensuring things get done efficiently and effectively. Whether I’m streamlining operations, optimizing workflows, or helping businesses scale, I bring a relentless focus on clarity, structure, and results.

When I’m not helping businesses run smoother and smarter, I cherish the simple joys of home—a cozy dinner with my family, followed by a laid-back movie night. It’s my perfect way to recharge, reflect, and stay grounded in what matters most.
