Lisa Papageorge was appointed vice president treasurer, a role she had been filling on an interim basis since February. Before she joined CWT, Papageorge was the treasurer at Service King Collisions Repairs.

All three report to Bill Courtney, CWT's executive vice president and CFO.

"Their experience across a wide range of financial, treasury and strategy matters further strengthens our finance and strategy team," Courtney said in a statement.

CWT last fall announced a recapitalization agreement to eliminate its debt. That included filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which CWT exited in November.
