Window Select appoints new Interim CEO ahead of bankruptcy proceedings
Window Select
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. - The owner of a window installation company when it came under fire by consumers will exit the company.
Cogent Analytics, a third-party advisory firm working on behalf of Window Select, tells Contact 6 that Window Select’s previous owner, Justin Kiswardy, "will no longer be affiliated with the organization" following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
Under Kiswardy’s leadership, Wisconsin Consumer Protection got more than 400 customer complaints about the company. Since 2021, more than 80 unhappy Window Select customers have filed complaints with Contact 6. Many told Contact 6 they’d paid the Menomonee Falls window installer for work that hadn’t started.
A Cogent Analytics team member, Andy Parsons, was appointed Interim CEO of Window Select in December 2022. The company says Parsons will see Window Select through its "legal restructuring" with the goal of fulfilling as many customer contracts as possible.
