Podcast. I've met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I've wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Whether I am preparing for a keynote speech or writing for publications such as Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post, these are my go-to people. My goal with the What's Next! podcast is to keep you thinking and to challenge you to think about What's Next!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T02:18:53.537358+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054"},"episode":{"title":"Become a Guiding Leader with Serin Silva","slug":"become-a-guiding-leader-with-serin-silva","published_at":"2026-02-05T15:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054/become-a-guiding-leader-with-serin-silva","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054","url":"https://whatsnextpodcast.libsyn.com/become-a-guiding-leader-with-serin-silva","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/whatsnextpodcast/Ep_332_-_Serin_Silva.mp3?dest-id=545912","summary":"Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week, I'm excited to welcome Serin Silva to the show. She is a strategic advisor to women founders, CEOs, and leadership teams. She led integration communications for eight acquisitions in a single year at a billion-dollar telecom, helping bring Oracle's first CRM and human capital management platforms to market. She launched the original MSNBC digital brand for Microsoft, and drove strategy for an early food delivery robot long before it was cool. She led five restructures and turnarounds for mid-sized companies, doubled revenue for mid-market tech firms, and delivered 150% business increase in eight months by forcing the right business and mindset pivots, which is why I wanted her to join today.
