Stangl, who spent 23 years at Williams-Sonoma and had been president of Pottery Barn since 2008, will lead the development of future new business and growth strategies at RH.

“We are delighted to welcome Sandra to the RH team,” said Gary Friedman, chairman and CEO. “I’ve had the pleasure of previously working with Sandra for seven years, and have remained an admirer of her work leading the development and growth of the Pottery Barn collection of brands to nearly $3 billion as its president.”

“I’m thrilled to join the RH team, who I believe is reimagining and redefining the retail experience,” added Stangl. “I couldn’t be more excited to be contributing towards the continued growth of this dynamic company.”

Stangl’s resignation from Pottery Barn was effective March 31, and Williams-Sonoma restructured the brand’s management team following her departure. Marta Benson is the new president of Pottery Barn and Jennifer Kellor is now president of the Pottery Barn Kids and PBTeen brands.
