You’re probably on this page because you’re curious about who I really am. I could start with the glossy wins, companies built, stages spoken on, leaders I’ve coached. But the truth is, everything you see now was built from scratch, with no safety net.
Change never arrives wrapped in a bow. It shows up as long nights, bad bets, and the choice to get back up anyway.
I didn’t step off a plane as a CEO. I came to the U.S. as an immigrant, learning the rules while breaking a few of them to get ahead. I’ve been broke, underestimated, and the outsider in the room. That perspective turned out to be my edge.
For years I hustled hard but hustle without strategy is just expensive chaos. I learned that scaling a business isn’t about working more hours; it’s about building systems that do the heavy lifting. That’s why I created SavvyChic Design to help businesses look and sound credible. Then I built EmpowrSoft to give them the backbone automation, AI, and workflows that actually grows revenue.
Today, I call myself a Business Growth Architect & Implementor.
Translation: I bridge the gap between big, messy ideas and the frameworks that make them real. I help leaders stop duct-taping their business together and start building something that scales.
Here’s the truth: you don’t need another motivational speech. You need better tools, better strategy, and the guts to stop tolerating what’s broken.
If you’re here because you’re tired of just “getting by” and you’re ready to run a business that works as hard as you do good. You’re my kind of person.

Joanna Sherrow is a Business Growth Architect, speaker, and founder of EmpowrSoft and SavvyChic Design. Known for bridging the gap between big ideas and the systems that bring them to life, she helps small- to mid-sized businesses scale smarter by combining branding, automation, and AI-powered solutions.
An immigrant entrepreneur who built her company from the ground up, Joanna is driven by the belief that growth isn’t about hustle alone—it’s about designing frameworks that make success repeatable. Through EmpowrSoft, she equips leaders with the tools and technology to capture more leads, close more sales, and deliver a seamless client experience.
A sought-after consultant and speaker, Joanna has worked with leaders across healthcare, home services, and professional industries to streamline operations and grow revenue. Her approach blends strategic insight with hands-on implementation, making her the rare partner who not only envisions transformation but also builds the systems to deliver it.
When she’s not architecting growth strategies, Joanna speaks on stages about innovation, the power of systems, and how small businesses can claim their seat at the bigger table.
