At Trust Your Supplier, she built the marketing function from the ground up, launching campaigns, creating thought leadership, and designing onboarding experiences that made blockchain technology accessible and useful. Along the way, she’s introduced award-winning initiatives, produced an industry podcast, and brought together Fortune 500 leaders to collaborate on the future of supplier risk management. Colleagues describe April as adaptable, collaborative, and creative under pressure. She thrives on turning complex concepts into clear, compelling stories and building systems that make teams stronger and more efficient. Beyond her day-to-day work, she is passionate about advancing women's leadership in TPRM by sharing knowledge and lifting others up. Leadership Characteristics April has played a key role in shaping how third-party risk management is communicated and understood. At Trust Your Supplier, she doesn’t just run campaigns, she built the entire marketing function from scratch. Her work has amplified the company’s voice in the market, from increasing LinkedIn engagement by 400% to guiding product launches with clear, accessible messaging. She has also brought industry leaders together through governance boards and customer advisory groups, ensuring that innovation is informed by the voices of those on the front lines. Her leadership has been about creating connections, building trust, and showing what’s possible when collaboration is at the center. Leadership Challenges Like many in growing organizations, April has faced shifting priorities, leadership changes, and the challenge of building impact with limited resources. Rather than seeing these as setbacks, she treated them as opportunities to adapt and grow. By staying focused on the end goal, reaching new customers and helping customers succeed, she was able to pivot quickly, create new processes that brought clarity, and keep projects moving even when the path forward wasn’t always clear. These challenges strengthened her resilience and reinforced her belief that steady progress and collaboration matter more than perfection. Key Take-a-ways If there’s one message April would share with others in TPRM, it’s that clarity and connection make all the difference. Whether you’re explaining complex risk concepts to a customer, collaborating across functions, or mentoring a teammate, the ability to communicate clearly builds trust and accelerates progress. Her favorite part of working in TPRM is that it’s never just about technology, it’s about people coming together to solve problems, protect organizations, and build stronger partnerships. Fun Fact At her core, April is a teacher. She started her career as a preschool teacher and has spent the last eight years teaching group fitness classes. Whether it’s helping a child master a new skill, guiding a class through a workout, or mentoring a colleague at work, she loves creating spaces where people feel encouraged, capable, and supported.

Learn about Regina Dillon, Senior Manager, Information Security Third Party Risk for CareSource, and TPRA's WNTPRM March 2025 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Regina Dillon Senior Manager, Information Security Third Party Risk CareSource Biography As a seasoned leader in the realm of information security, I bring to the table over two decades of rich experience. Throughout this period, my professional journey has spanned across various sectors. I have gained experience in the legal domain, delved into the realm of hosted managed services, and most recently, ventured into the healthcare payer industry. My focus for the past five years has been on third-party risk management. I am a proud holder of the Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) certification, which has been instrumental in enhancing my ability to assess risk effectively. Leadership Characteristics DISC Profiile - SC (Steadiness/Conscientiousness) Myers Briggs - ISTJ Leadership Challenges At its core, leadership is about forging connections. It’s about nurturing relationships with those you guide, your colleagues, and your superiors. One of the most formidable challenges I’ve faced is penetrating the barriers of individuals who are inherently reserved. Engaging with such individuals requires patience and can be disheartening if you let their traits influence your own demeanor. However, I’ve discovered that ultimately, everyone seeks to be acknowledged and comprehended. They crave transparency. While candid feedback may not always be welcomed, when it is given and genuinely taken on board, individuals often realize that my intentions are in their best interest. They understand that they can reciprocate with the same level of honesty. A book that resonated with me and emboldened me to be a forthright leader is ‘Radical Candor’. Key Take-a-ways Third Party Risk Management is not about checking the box that an assessment has been completed. It involves posing pertinent questions and conducting meaningful due diligence that can signal to your company (and the third party) to potential issues that could actually result in a regulatory violation or cyber breach. Fun Fact I love Buc-ee's! It’s an essential pit stop on every road trip. The anticipation is building as a Buc-ee's is being built within about 30 minutes of my home (Springboro, Ohio) in the next couple of years.
