The Art of Strategy | Meet JetBrains VP of Strategy Anastasia Zemskova

What does a VP of Strategy actually do? We had a chat with Anastasia Zemskova, VP of Strategy at JetBrains, in an art gallery, and asked her a few questions about strategy, alignment, trust, and why being right isn’t always enough. For Anastasia, strategy isn’t a slide deck or a document you put on the wall. Much like curating an exhibition, it’s about building connections, zooming in and out, and helping people see how the pieces fit together. In this conversation, Anastasia shares what her day-to-day looks like, why alignment takes time, what she had to learn the hard way, and the JetBrains quality bar she refuses to lower.
