Rick Aberle has been an integral part of the Propago platform from its infancy. Rick was the sole developer that created Propago 1.0 and has built the team responsible for evolving the software to its current incarnation of version 5.0 and many steps in-between. With a background of bridging the gap between techies and business operations he is able to bring a different perspective to the product development lifecycle.

Rick started his career at Vignette, a high flying tech IPO in the pre-2000 tech bubble. He quickly rose from a temporary IT staffer to an IT Business Partner tasked with interfacing directly with “C”-level management and translating needs back to the IT group for execution. After Vignette got caught in the bubble bust, Rick moved on to Cerqa (a division of Nationwide Graphics, then NWAS LLC). The Cerqa division was focused on high-volume fulfillment and supply chain management with its roots in the commercial printing industry. The 10 year tenure at Cerqa exposed Rick to a number of operational and technological challenges, shaping his vision for the Propago platform.
