In the premiere of season 3, with the Department of Justice breathing down Logan's neck over the cruise ship scandal, he decides to take a step back from his role as CEO. The siblings and Roy's inner circle of advisors jockey for the position of interim CEO, but Roy picks Gerri for the job. There's a chance she stays right where she is.
Although Gerri is loyally carrying out Logan's bidding for now, she's just as cunning and manipulative as everyone around her. After all, she knows the company's secrets, and her hands are relatively clean. As Roman says, Gerr-bear has "mad, scheming scissorhands" so you know she's got a few tricks up her sleeve. Clearly, Roy thinks she's a threat — why else would he tell Roman to keep an eye on her? Little does he know, it seems Roman is genuinely in Gerri's corner, which may pan out for her (and Roman) in the end.
