James Porter, 44, Apogee vice president of strategy and planning, was named interim CFO while the Bloomington-based glass manufacturer conducts an internal and external search for the CFO position.

Porter joined Apogee in 1997 as assistant controller and was promoted to controller in 1998 and vice president of financing and planning in 2000 before ascending to his current job in 2002.

"(Porter) has provided leadership in development of the company's strategic priorities focused on our architectural and picture framing businesses," said Russell Huffer, Apogee chairman and CEO in a statement released after the market closed today.

"We wish Bill (Marchido) success in his future endeavors," Huffer said.
