In this episode of Win/Win: Women in Innovation, Zoia Kozakov sits down with Chris Konya, Chief Strategy Officer at Sylvain, to explore what twenty years in strategy and innovation actually teaches you — about business, about creativity, and about yourself. Chris shares how the field has evolved from generating a plethora of ideas to finding the one right idea, why the best insights can come from the most unexpected places, and how she thinks about navigating change, loss, and reinvention both professionally and personally.

Listen for advice on:

• Why the right idea always beats a room full of ideas
• How to find the insight that unlocks an entirely new category
• Reframing gender from disadvantage to different advantage
• What it means to choose your people — and bet on them — when it's hard
