Authoring Your New Script: April Rinne on How to Flux (and Thrive) in Constant Change

April Rinne is equal parts global authority, advocate, ally and adventurer. She spent the first half of her career focused on global development and financial inclusion, and the latter half on the “new” digital economy and the future of work. For more than two decades, she has seen emerging trends early, understands their potential, and helps others do the same.

Today, April is an acclaimed futurist, sought-after speaker and trusted advisor — especially known for her role as a bridge: between startups and governments, executives and customers, between for-profit and for-benefit business models, between developed and developing countries, between those excited about change, and those resistant to it.

She is not afraid to buck conventionality, seeing things differently, or seeking to level-up her ability to help others reshape their relationship to change.

April’s work and travels in more than 100 countries have offered her a front-row seat to witnessing change at both local and global levels. This includes the better part of four years spent solo without a permanent address but with a backpack and an insatiable desire to better understand how the rest of the world lives.
