#30: Krisztina "Z" Holly - The Quest for Questions
Most innovators spend their lives and/or careers exploring the many possible answers to some of the world's most daring questions. In that regard, Krisztina "Z." Holly is guilty as charged. In her personal life, the exploration junkie has conquered land, air, and sea an accomplished skydiver, mountain biker, and SCUBA instructor. In her professional life, she is most known as creator of the first event to be dubbed "TEDx" during her tenure as the Founding Executive Director of the USC Stevens Center for Innovation. The rest of her resume reads like an adventure of Forrest Gump through innovation, working at the helms of organizations like DAVOS, The Obama Administration, and MIT to name a few - all while pursuing cultural thrills and experiences across the world. On Innovation Crush, Z breaks down the power of play, the importance of process, the socio-political ecosystems of ideas, and how to ask the right questions when it comes to innovation.
