Snowfire.AI Wins 2025 Global Recognition Award for Revolutionizing Executive Decision-Making in the AI Economy
platform leverages large metric models to turn unstructured data from over 1,000 sources into actionable insights. It delivers real-time, personalized updates to executives, enhances margins, accelerates growth, and modernizes enterprise decision-making by replacing legacy technologyNEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In today's highly competitive digital industry, businesses are racing to adapt to what Greg Genung of calls "the new AI data economy." As traditional industry verticals increasingly shift toward AI and data-driven approaches, positions itself at the forefront of this transformation, offering solutions designed specifically for enterprise decision-makers. Redefining Business Decisions and Intelligence for the AI stands out by creating what they term a "large metric model" rather than merely focusing on bog-standard large language models. Using a highly collated database of loose data sets, this allows businesses to harness their existing information—no matter how "dirty" or disorganized—and transform it into actionable intelligence at scale in under 24 hours. "You can't afford to wait for your data to be clean. It never will be," explains Genung, highlighting one of the key barriers many enterprises face when implementing AI solutions. Rather than requiring businesses to clean up their data first, approach involves pulling data from multiple sources, utilizing highly advanced neural network technology to recognize pertinent points where other systems may platform connects ~1,000+ different data sources, from "hyperscalers to spreadsheets," creating a comprehensive knowledge base unique to each customer in a secure, isolated environment. This allows the AI to train specifically on a company's data without being confused by external information or hallucinations, of which has specifically engineered its technology to thwart and drive immediate return on AI Transformation FormulaOne of most innovative concepts is their "AI transformation formula," which provides a mathematical framework for understanding how AI implementation affects business operations and costs. The formula considers several factors: efficient analysis of human capital costs, increased cost of AI-enabled human capital, increased cost of GPU computing power, increased cost of storage, and reduced software bloat. When performed as a part of the AI transformation companies investing in Snowfire undergo, the result is, on average, a 10x return on investment for smaller firms, and for the enterprise, nearly unlimited. Genung indicates this formula shows "massive improvement in growth, margin, and retention" for AI-transformed businesses when appropriately implemented. This proprietary mathematical approach helps businesses understand the concrete benefits of taking on AI implementation now, rather than waiting. Personalization and Centralized Intelligence AI system operates on two distinct levels of AI-enabled personalization:First, company data aggregation enables personalization and considers the business's industry vertical, geography, size, products, and specific metrics that matter to that organization. Snowfire refers to this as the platform's foundation layer. Second, user personalization tailors the experience to the individual executive's role (CEO, CFO, CRO, etc.), thinking style or personality, relative metrics to the user's role, and decision-making approach. These are all blended into the agents that emulate the signals and decision processing that help support the highest return on investment for executives in front of any device. This dual-layer personalization ensures the platform delivers highly relevant information and insights tailored to the business context and the individual user's needs and preferences. In one example, a CEO is provided with boardroom-level strategic advice based entirely on live informational analysis. The possibilities are endless when the processing is infinite. Signaling: The Core Value PropositionWhat truly differentiates is its ability to signal important information to decision-makers. The platform analyzes internal and external data sources to identify relevant patterns and potential risks. Internally, it monitors business metrics and alerts executives when performance indicators show concerning trends. Externally, it scrapes websites and monitors news sources to identify industry risks, competitive movements, and other external factors that could impact the business."If a metric or business strategy is signaling signs of issue or concern internally, we signal it to you with context and recommendations as soon as the adaptive decision intelligence platform picks it up. If there's a risk outside the business, we signal it to you with context for your role. The key is that the adaptive AI decision Intelligence platform analyzes all of this at scale to help executives stay on top of a constantly changing business landscape," explains Genung. 'Snowfire acts as a trusted advisor, ensuring executives receive the most relevant and timely executive-level insights, maximizing their return on investment for screen time." In addition, also cross-checks these findings to ensure the data is indeed actionable, relevant, and makes recommendations around each user-tailored to their role in the business. If one data source shows a worrying signal, the platform surfaces that as an indicator with the contextualization, metric impact, and recommendations for rectifying the issue - the early warning system of an AI-powerhouse, a superhuman executive. The Future of Work in the AI EconomyGenung envisions significant changes in workforce composition as AI transforms businesses. He predicts a potential 30 percent gain in workforce productivity in the "first large version" of this global data and economic transformation over the next 5 years, supporting the global human capital layer of the workforce in becoming exceptionally productive and time-efficient through AI enablement and adoption. Executives getting back 30% of their time will create incredible capabilities for strategic decision making that will unlock growth, margin, and customer satisfaction across the board for companies that undergo AI transformation using technologies like adaptive decision intelligence and Snowfire AI. "You're giving your human capital the power of GPUs and computing power to be someone who can do 10 times the work of what they could yesterday," Genung notes, emphasizing that "The AI-enabled human will be the focal point for the future of business operations. We are already seeing these productivity, efficiency, and output accelerations here internally at Snowfire AI on our team across the board. From engineering to product to sales and marketing – the 10x effect is very real.'Genung points out that leadership roles will remain essential: "Corporate leadership is not going anywhere - even in the AI economy - decision makers are going to remain the most important resource that we need to AI-enable to make the most critical business decisions." Even as AI handles analysis, processing, and recommendations, human decision-makers will continue making the final calls with better information. This is a concept built into the very framework of where intelligence and predictions are meant to aid in decision-making, rather than automatically make them. Genung quotes 'Snowfire is here to enable the human decision layer that runs resilient companies in the age of AI.' Competitive positions itself as the "next major step in top-level artificial intelligence", only with faster implementation, greater interoperability, and lower cost barriers. While competitors in the enterprise space boast solutions costs that typically start at $10 million and take around six months to deploy, offers entry points at fractions of this cost with insights available within 24 hours using its AI-automated platform - insight, not analysts and technical leaders in the financial space have referred to Snowfire as "the legacy data intelligence challenger", though Genung is careful not to make such claims directly. Instead, he describes as the AI Brain of the Business and the Operating System for AI-enabled Executives, stressing that the key is the acceleration and enablement of the human layer for decision making that supports the overall success of each business and the officers tasked with leading it. In the AI data analytics space—estimated to be a $600 billion market with AI transformation representing a potential $4.1 trillion opportunity according to McKinsey— focuses specifically on executive decision-making, complementing rather than to the AI EconomyWith its unique approach to accelerating return on investment, centralizing massively disconnected data stores, and handling "dirty" data, the company helps customers focus on decision-making for the most critical leaders in the business. represents a specialized solution designed for the specific needs of enterprise leadership in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. offers a vision of how decision intelligence can transform enterprise operations as businesses transition to the AI economy.

Why AI Transformation Is Non-Negotiable For Executives
Greg Genung is CEO and founder of Snowfire AI, a pioneer in AI signals and decision intelligence technology. There are two types of executives in this new era of AI. The first is an executive who's still using antiquated systems to run their business, mainly on intuition. The second is an executive running an AI-transformed business, fully leveraging automation and real-time intelligent analyses that augment their intuition. There's a massive shift happening in the executive layer in companies worldwide. And based on my industry experience, I've found that a delay in AI transformation is a dangerous game. So, to help support executives in overcoming their unpreparedness, I built an AI transformation ROI formula that helps determine the financial impact of AI implementation—or, looking at it another way, the cost of inaction. This formula offers a way for C-suite executives, private equity or venture capital managers, portfolio companies and founders to measure AI's impact and take steps to help improve growth, margins and retention in the age of AI. The Stakes: What You Lose By Waiting Inaction is a death spiral. Competitors wielding AI are capturing markets, slashing costs and securing customer loyalty while you're mired in outdated systems. CEOs sometimes see AI as a threat to their positions. A Dataiku and Harris Poll survey shows that 74% of CEOs globally said "they could lose their job within two years if they don't deliver measurable AI-driven business gains." No one escapes this transformation. Executives and employees are all aware that AI is disrupting their roles. This isn't just a skills gap; it's a mindset problem that stalls progress and inflates costs as inefficiencies mount. The transformational impact that AI is having across the C-suite is creating quite a bit of discomfort for executives. Our data shows that only 15% of organizations say their C-suite has high AI proficiency. This is a red flag when nearly 30% believe the CEO's role will be the one most transformed by AI. Without executive fluency in AI and the role it plays in business transformation, businesses risk missteps that cede ground to rivals. Hesitation costs money. The ATI ROI Formula: How To Measure AI's Transformative Power To quantify what's at stake, I developed a return on investment (ROI) formula to determine how AI platforms can impact the entire business—the AI transformation impact (ATI) formula: AI transformation impact = (Revenue Growth * Margin Improvement * Retention %) / (Total Headcount / AI Efficiency %). In short form: ATI = (RGI * MEF * CRF) / (HC / AEF) RGI: Revenue And Growth Index = TR * (1 + % Revenue Growth) * (1 + % Market Expansion) MEF: Margin Efficiency Factor = 1 + (% Gross Margin Improvement - % COGS Increase) CRF: Customer Retention Factor = 1 + (% Retention Rate Improvement - % Churn Increase) HC: Headcount (e.g., 100 employees) AEF: AI Efficiency Factor = 1 + % Productivity Gain Example: A company with $10 million in revenue and 100 employees adopts AI, achieving 20% revenue growth, 10% market expansion, 15% margin improvement, 5% COGS (cost of goods sold) increase, 10% retention improvement, 2% churn increase and 30% productivity gain. RGI = $13.2 million, MEF = 1.1, CRF = 1.08 and adjusted headcount = 100 / 1.3 ≈ 76.92. ATI = ($13.2M * 1.1 * 1.08) / 76.92 ≈ $203,923, dwarfing the pre-AI performance of $100,000 per employee. Delay AI, and you're stuck at the lower figure, hemorrhaging millions to competitors. This formula reveals what inaction sacrifices: revenue, margins, growth and loyalty. The Risks Of Delay For executives, the burden of inaction is personal and punishing. CEOs face relentless board pressure to deliver growth, but without AI, they're blindsided by market shifts, eroding their credibility as missed opportunities pile up. Across the C-suite, inaction means longer hours, tougher scrutiny and the constant threat of being outmaneuvered. The research underscores the following key areas of focus for executives: • C-Suite Knowledge Gap: With only 15% of organizations reporting high C-suite AI proficiency in our survey, executives are ill-equipped to lead transformation. This gap risks strategic missteps, like the competitor who ignored AI market analysis and lost 10% revenue. • Data Integration Gaps: AI demands unified data from CRM and ERP systems, marketing, the supply chain and support teams. Gartner researchers estimate that, through 2026, 60% of AI projects will be unfinished due to poor data. • Rising Costs: Inaction compounds inefficiencies, inflating COGS and delaying ROI. Manual processes drain budgets while rivals optimize. Urgent Steps To Act Now From my experience and research, here are critical steps to take to avoid costly inaction: • Unify data immediately. Integrate CRM (sales), ERP (financials), marketing (customer insights), supply chain (operations) and support (retention) data to power AI. A client unified these to spot demand trends, boosting margins by 12%. Delay risks silos that cost revenue—start mapping data today. • Launch a pilot. Test AI in one area, like pricing for CFOs. A client's finance team gained 10% margins in three months. Waiting cedes profits to competitors. • Upskill the C-suite. Invest in executive AI training—15% proficiency is a liability. • Set up governance. Form an AI ethics committee to prevent bias and build trust. Late governance cost one firm a key client due to flawed AI pricing. Inaction Risks Irrelevance The cost of inaction can be devastating. For executives wary of numbers, it's simple: AI means selling more (new markets), keeping more (higher profits) and holding customers close (less churn), with your team working smarter. One of our client's 40% value surge came from acting fast—unifying data, piloting AI and training their team. Their competitor's delay likely cost millions.
