For Jennifer Stranzl, CMO of CoinDesk, imagination is the secret sauce for innovation. And no innovations are more exciting to her right now than Web3, the metaverse, and blockchain.

“Innovation is what humans do best when they're imagining. When they invent something entirely new, I get most drawn [to something] that's going to impact everyone, either for a whole industry or for the mass consumer. To me, [...] crypto, blockchain, Web3 technologies, I feel are those things. They haven't worked out all the use cases, but the places that they have, and what you can see in the future, I think are that big movement.”
— Jennifer Strazl, CMO of CoinDesk

Jennifer Stranzl has what she calls “BHAG”s: big, hairy, audacious goals. She studied brain and cognitive science at MIT because she wanted to know exactly how the brain works. Now, the CMO of CoinDesk, the world’s most influential and trusted information platform for the emerging global crypto/Web3 economy, is focused on emerging technology. These days, her BHAGs are around building community around increasing awareness and mass adoption Web3 and all its components.
