Director of Sales & Growth
April Restrivera
April Restrivera is the Director of Sales & Growth at CrownTV. She works with multi-location operators across retail, restaurants, hospitality, and corporate to scope signage rollouts that make business sense — not just signage that looks good. April translates buyer hesitations ("is this going to ship on time across 50 stores?", "what does the four-hour SLA actually mean?") into the proposals our team writes. She publishes on rollout planning, RFP response strategy, and how procurement teams should read a signage quote.
