VARGO® Promotes COO and President, Bart Cera, to CEO

February 1, 2023
No Comments

HILLIARD, Ohio (February 1, 2023) — VARGO®, a leading provider of material-handling systems integration, warehouse execution software and equipment solutions for major fulfillment and distribution centers, has promoted Bart Cera to CEO with over 16 years in leadership roles with the company including COO and President.

Prior to his time at VARGO®, Cera spent much of his career in the financial sector as a certified public accountant and earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Bowling Green State University. Cera first joined the VARGO® team in 2006 as CFO/COO at a time when the company was experiencing exponential growth and looking to hire a seasoned financial and operational mind to help organize the business. While his initial contribution relied largely on his finance expertise, Cera quickly found his footing in the materials handling, automated equipment and systems integration spaces and today, he is a seasoned advocate for VARGO®’s approach to solving fulfillment challenges and their unique warehouse execution software, COFE®.

In 2019, after over a decade with VARGO®, Bart was promoted to President and COO. Since then, the worldwide impact of Covid-19 and overall trends in the retail industry have allowed Cera to lead VARGO® to unprecedented success with significant industry interest and record-setting peak volumes across clients.

With Bart’s promotion to CEO, current CEO Mike Vargo will step into the role of Chairman of the Board. “I speak for myself and the board when I say that VARGO® has prospered under Bart’s guidance and we have full confidence he will continue to bring record-breaking growth to us and our world-class clients,” said Vargo. “His background, institutional knowledge and leadership qualities are key to continuing our growth as we look to the future.”
