ABOUT APRIL HILLIARD-DONOHUE

I’ve spent the past 18+ years helping companies build teams and helping people navigate what’s next in their careers. I’m Co-Founder and Principal at Duo Talent Partners, where I work with founders and leadership teams at early and growth-stage companies — particularly in technology, AI, and venture-backed environments — to build strong technical, product, and go-to-market organizations. My background spans leadership roles inside high-growth startups and global companies, along with more than a decade of embedded and fractional talent leadership work supporting companies during periods of scale and change. I’m a natural connector and deeply curious person who loves the people side of building things — teams, careers, and companies. Outside of work I enjoy travel, great food, time with family and nature, and projects or investments that keep life interesting.
