April LaCroix Joins Anthesis as Global Head of Strategy

Anthesis has appointed April LaCroix as Global Head of Strategy. Based in Chicago, April brings more than 20 years of experience helping global organisations translate complex priorities — including sustainability, ESG, digital transformation, and operating model redesign — into measurable business value.

A focus on execution, performance, and value

April brings a unique dual perspective to her role at Anthesis: she has led inside multiple corporate sustainability functions and has advised companies as a consultant, combining strategy and transformation skills with deep technical fluency across sustainability disciplines. She specialises in helping companies improve bottom-line performance through sustainability and in designing the capabilities, performance systems, and executive alignment needed to execute this transition effectively.

Experience across industry and advisory

April’s career began at Interface, Inc., helping shape sustainability strategy inside one of the world’s pioneering sustainable businesses. She went on to become a Director at Accenture, where she partnered with 20+ Fortune 500 companies to deliver sustainability value and served as an advisor in the Office of the CEO.

This combination enables her to bridge strategy and execution, with a clear view of what drives performance in practice.

Strengthening Anthesis’ strategic offer

The next era of sustainability will be led by organisations that can uncover new sources of value, translate sustainability into smarter business decisions, and align their organisations to capture the opportunity at scale.

April’s appointment strengthens Anthesis’ ability to support clients in linking sustainability to new business models and financial performance at scale. April is co-author of ‘Rethinking Operating Models,’ recipient of the 2025 NYC Big Book Award, and holds an MBA and MS in Business and Sustainability from the University of Michigan, and an MA in Environmental Policy from the University of Toronto as a Fulbright Scholar.

Her appointment reflects Anthesis’ belief that sustainable performance comes from turning sustainability into a driver of smarter growth, stronger decisions, and enterprise-wide value creation.
