Weather Shield Mfg., maker of Weather Shield Windows & Doors, promoted Chris Schield to VP marketing.

Founded in 1955, Weather Shield is owned by the Schield family and is based in Medford, Wisconsin. Chris Schield was previously director of product marketing. Before that, he was a channel manager for Kohler Company.

“Chris has a proven aptitude for sound decision-making, successfully collaborating with and leading others, and investing company resources to advance the company’s competitive position in the market,” said Mark Schield, president of Weather Shield Mfg. “The breadth of experience Chris brings to his new role will serve him, his employees and Weather Shield well.”

Schield brings 12 years of product development, brand management and channel management experience in the building products industry to his new role. In his new role, Schield will oversee all of the company’s marketing functions, including product initiatives, dealer communications, advertising, trade show exhibitions, marketing communications and digital communications.

He takes over responsibilities from both Jeff Kibler, now manager of architectural and commercial solutions, and VP sales Todd Hallstrand, who was previously VP sales and marketing.
