Erik Severinghaus
Erik has summited the highest peaks of the business world (selling four companies for hundreds of millions
of dollars) and the physical world (successfully climbing Mt. Everest in 2018). He is proudest not of the
trophies on his wall memorializing the accomplishments, but of the scars he has accumulated overcoming
both the external obstacles and internal trap of self-doubt along the way. Erik released his first book on May
18, 2021. Scale Your Everest is a guidebook for mental health, resilience and entrepreneurship. Erik has an
MBA from Kellogg School of Business and an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina.
He lives with his wife and daughter in Chicago.
