Bart Cera was promoted to CEO in 2023 after more than 16 years in leadership roles with the company including COO and President. With the worldwide impact of Covid-19 and overall trends in the retail industry, Bart has led VARGO^® to unprecedented success with significant industry interest and record-setting peak volumes across clients.

Bart 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, Bart 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 our unique warehouse execution software, COFE^®. In 2019, after over a decade with VARGO^®, Bart was promoted to President and COO.

Prior to his time at VARGO^®, Bart spent much of his career in the financial sector as a certified public accountant and earned his Bachelor of Science in finance from Bowling Green State University.
