Williams-Sonoma Inc issued a disappointing earnings forecast and announced the retirement of Sharon McCollam, who served as both chief financial officer and chief operating officer.
The news sent shares of the operator of Williams-Sonoma cookware stores and the Pottery Barn furnishings chain down more than 4 percent, and raised concerns about the future of the company without a seasoned retail executive like McCollam.
