Put AI to work in your business — the strategy and the build.

Most AI consultants hand you a slide deck. I run the strategy and personally build the systems — from an operator who has scaled and sold companies. Empower Business Consulting helps owners of growing companies turn AI into real operating results.

Signature Engagement

AI Opportunity Assessment

A focused, fixed-fee engagement that finds where AI will actually move the needle in your business — then turns it into a prioritized, build-ready roadmap. In one to two weeks you get a clear plan and a realistic view of cost, effort, and payoff. No jargon, no hype.

  • See exactly where AI creates margin, speed, and capacity — and where it won't
  • Get a prioritized roadmap with effort, cost, and expected payoff for each opportunity
  • Leave with a plan you can act on — build it with me, or hand it to your own team

About

Gene Storz

An operations and growth leader with 25+ years scaling companies — from co-founding Education 2020 and growing it to a $50M acquisition, to leading SeeWriteHear from $3M to a ~$15M run rate ($30M+ in public-sector contracts).
