Gerry Severin is a business consultant, investor and board advisor who helps established companies scale. Over more than 20 years he has advised more than 15 billion-dollar companies, including Aviva, AIG, BP and Chubb, on improving their sales, people, systems and processes. He is the creator of the Scaling Made Easy Framework and the author of The 7 Reasons Why Your Business Is Not Scaling and How to Fix It Fast.
Gerry works with business owners, founders and leadership teams across Europe and the United States. His clients are usually companies that have proven their business model but are no longer growing at the rate they expected.
Gerry Severin’s background covers business consulting, sales and corporate finance. Most of his consulting work has been with blue chip companies, where he has provided both strategic and operational advice.
Working at that level taught him how large organisations actually grow. Revenue targets are rarely missed because of the market. They are missed because the sales process is inconsistent, the wrong people are in key roles, or the systems that worked at a smaller size start to break under more volume. Gerry’s work focuses on finding those problems and fixing them in the right order.
Unlike many consultants, Gerry does not stop at a report. He works alongside leadership teams to put changes in place and measure the results.
Every engagement starts with a clear look at where the business is today. Gerry reviews how the company wins customers, how the team is structured, which systems it relies on and how work actually gets done. The aim is to find the one or two constraints holding growth back, rather than trying to fix everything at once.
From there, he agrees a plan with the leadership team. Each change has an owner, a timeline and a way to measure whether it worked. Gerry stays involved while the changes are put in place, so the plan does not stall once the first meeting is over.
This approach suits owners who want practical results rather than theory, and who are ready to act on what the review finds. It works for companies with a small leadership team as well as large, multi-site organisations.
Gerry has advised companies in a wide range of sectors, including:
Experience across these industries means he can spot patterns that people inside a single sector often miss. A pricing problem in logistics and a pipeline problem in financial services usually have the same root cause.
The Scaling Made Easy Framework is the method Gerry Severin developed from two decades of consulting work. It is built on four areas every growing business has to get right:
Most businesses that stop growing have a weakness in at least one of these areas. The framework gives owners a clear way to find it and a practical plan to fix it. The full programme is available through Scaling Made Easy.
Gerry Severin is the author of The 7 Reasons Why Your Business Is Not Scaling and How to Fix It Fast. The book sets out the most common reasons established businesses stall and gives specific steps to address each one. It draws on the same experience behind the Scaling Made Easy Framework.

As well as consulting, Gerry is an investor and board advisor. On boards, he brings an outside view, financial discipline and experience of how larger companies have handled the same challenges. As an investor, he looks for businesses with a strong product and a clear path to scale.
He also advises direct-to-trade platforms and scale-up companies preparing for their next stage of growth.
