My name is April. I live and work in London. I’m a senior project and program manager with over 20 years of experience in managing, leading and delivering projects, from start-ups and scale-ups, to global enterprise level organisations in FinTech, HealthTech, iGaming and Digital industries. I created Stellar Epics to offer my services to businesses that may need my help.
Stellar Epics is not a network, is not a recruitment agency and is not a marketplace to hire freelancers.
Stellar Epics is me and I am Stellar Epics.
When you book a Project Manager at Stellar Epics, you are hiring me and paying for my time. You will be working only with me throughout your journey.
I will be your only point of contact throughout your project. Everything I do is done by me, with precious support I receive from my executive assistant and my project admin coordinator who are extremely valuable to me. I work full time, I don’t delegate to other PMs. I don’t use AI generated summaries and updates, although I do use AI tools for agentic automation and AI powered project management, which you can read about here.
I’m a London-based Project Manager and Delivery expert.
I can work at your business location in Central London, Surrey and Sussex areas. I also serve remotely across the UK with availability to travel up to 25% when required. I have also provided my services to US and EU businesses in the past and have been able to accommodate timezone differences.
Stellar Epics define me as a leader, as a project manager, a delivery expert and a high achiever.
“Stellar” because I reach for the stars and deliver structured results, I aim for excellence and limitless potential with light, clarity and direction.
“Epic” because I target heroic achievements via an iterative Agile framework.
I see a project as a road trip;
A project is defined as something that has a beginning and an end, where a target objective must be achieved.
There is a starting point, there is a destination, there is a roadmap and itinerary, which may have to change due to unplanned situations on the road.
There are stops and breaks along the way, landmarks to see, there is a driver in the vehicle and other passengers traveling with us.
We may have a simple and clear map to get to a known destination, or we may have an exploratory trip to an unknown territory.
This is how I see all projects too…
