Costco’s new CEO Ron Vachris started in an entry level warehouse position at Costco 40 years ago. It’s nice to see that such stories, while less common, still exist.
Ron is a Costco veteran, with over forty years of service to the Company, starting as a forklift driver, and subsequently serving in every major role related to Costco’s business operations and merchandising activities.

The CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, Scott Sheffield, seems to have followed a similar career path. Sheffield started in the industry as a young roughneck drilling vertical wells in the Permian Basin in 1979.
