Since the time Gerry completed an MBA, he’s spent virtually his entire career focused on assisting companies improve both their financial performance and organizational competencies. Initially, he worked at a major New England based bank as a commercial lender and developed a specialty providing asset-based loans to companies that didn’t qualify for traditional financing. Then, after six years, he established a financial advisory firm which focused on arranging both conventional and government sponsored loans – along with the financial forecasting required to support those efforts. After several years, Gerry purchased 50 percent interest in a client business that provided short-term loans to real estate developers that were not able to obtain bank financing. Together with his partner, he built a business that was eventually backed by four commercial banks and two equity investors. After several years, he successfully sold his interest and returned to consulting. Building on this, he developed into a well-known “turnaround” expert. Eventually, along with a partner, he built a practice that expanded into the entire Eastern half of the US. In 2000, the company merged with the largest New England based CPA firm. In 2007 he returned to his roots and reestablished Pathway Advisors, a “boutique” consulting practice.

Over his career, Gerry has also been an active speaker, teacher, and writer. Gerry has been featured in numerous publications including Family Business Magazine and The Journal of Corporate Renewal. More than anything, Gerry prides himself on being a shirt-sleeves regular guy anxious to share his knowledge to help business owners and their teams exceed their own expectations.
