Window World CEO seen as Southeast leader

Tammy Whitworth, CEO of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina-based Window World, is featured in this month's Forbes Magazine in the "Southeast Women Business Leaders" section. 

With more than 200 locations, Window World is described as America's largest replacement window and home remodeling company. 

Describing Window World's business model, Whitworth said: "Window World's success is built on family, community and trust. Each franchise is a locally owned business, and that's important because we want to be part of the communities where we're located. Talk to a Window World owner. Each one has a great deal of pride in what they do, which is reflected in our customer service."
