RH Adds Williams-Sonoma Vet To Its Executive Team

RH, the company formerly known as Restoration Hardware, has added a former Williams-Sonoma executive to its team.

A press release from the company announced that Sandra Stangl has been named as president of new business development. In the position, she will lead the development of future new business and growth strategies that will leverage RH’s proprietary multichannel platform.

“We are delighted to welcome Sandra to the RH team,” said Gary Friedman, chairman and CEO of RH. “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.”

Stangl spent 23 years at Williams-Sonoma, where she ascended through the ranks of the company’s Pottery Barn division and played important roles in leading the conceptualization and development of the Pottery Barn Kids and Teen brands. In 2008, Stangl was named president of Pottery Barn. She resigned from Williams-Sonoma in March 2017, according to Chain Store Age.

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