Crossword Genius

Women intimate with film producer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film producer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'women intimate' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'intimate' becomes 'inner' (I've seen this before).
'w'+'inner'='WINNER'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for winner that I've seen before include "Conqueror" , "success" , "Victor" , "film director" , "Top player" .)
