Some entrepreneurs are natural problem-solvers. Others are natural planners. For BDI Member, Ozzie González of P3 Consulting, success comes from being both. A lifelong entrepreneur and occasional performing artist, Ozzie has built a career by thinking strategically and helping others do the same. His professional journey began as an environmental scientist conducting environmental impact assessments before transitioning into architecture during the rise of sustainable design. As environmental and social responsibility became increasingly important, his work evolved, leading equity and inclusion initiatives on construction projects.
In 2019, Ozzie launched a consulting practice with a clear mission: helping businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies tackle complex environmental and social challenges through thoughtful planning and practical solutions. He has partnered with organizations across the region on initiatives ranging from revitalizing downtown economies and developing workforce training and hiring programs for construction projects to creating roadmaps to Zero Water and implementing respectful workplace programs. Every project is different, but each requires thoughtful planning, collaboration, and a strategic approach.
Like many solo business owners, one of the biggest hurdles hasn't been the work itself—it's helping people understand exactly how that expertise can benefit them. By learning about each client's long-term goals and sharing real examples of how he helped others succeed, he’s able to build relationships rooted in trust and strategy. For Ozzie, being strategic means looking beyond today's challenges to create a path toward lasting impact.
Ozzie is inspired every day by the hardworking entrepreneurs across our region and believe the future belongs to businesses that lead with both purpose and profitability. His vision is to see more organizations become industry leaders by demonstrating that business success and social responsibility can go hand in hand. It's a reminder that strategy isn't just about planning for what's next—it's about building a future that's better for everyone.
Strategic entrepreneurs never stop learning. That's why BDI is committed to providing the training, resources, and connections that help small businesses make informed decisions and grow with purpose. Join us, become a BDI member today!
