Trailblazer (7)

I believe the answer is:

pioneer

'trailblazer' is the definition.
(both can mean an innovator)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pioneer that I've seen before include "Lead the way" , "Launch" , "One who blazes the trail for others" , "An explorer in new territory" , "break new ground" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, The Independent, The Times, The Star Tribune, the LA Times, The Mirror, The Guardian, The Sun, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
