Adjustable bed base manufacturer Ergomotion has hired Leo Vera as chief operating officer. The position previously had been unfilled.
The Santa Barbara, Calif.-based company said Vera’s experience in international industry, manufacturing, finance and operations were assets to Ergomotion’s expanding global business.
Most recently, Vera was managing director for a global division of Pyrotek, a privately held sales and engineering company. Prior to that, he was a regional controller for the company. He also has extensive experience as a business consultant for international clients in the automotive, contract manufacturing and biotech sectors.
“Ergomotion is having a profound impact in the marketplace by partnering with the leading original equipment manufacturers of the bedding industry, much the same way that snowboarding changed the landscape for snow sports in the ’80s,” Vera said.
