BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Williams-Sonoma Inc.’s Brooklyn-based West Elm brand is looking for a new president. Alex Bellos is leaving West Elm to take on the co-CEO and board member roles at Food 52, Schoolhouse and Dansk. Schoolhouse and Dansk were acquired earlier this year by Food 52.

“West Elm is one of the fastest growing brands in the home furnishings industry, and I’d like to thank Alex for everything he has done to build this brand and the West Elm team over the past five years,” said Laura Alber, Williams-Sonoma Inc. president and CEO.

“As I transition from my role as brand president to my new position as co-CEO outside of WSI, I’d like to express my gratitude towards my colleagues for their contributions to the West Elm brand,” said Bellos. “I am proud of our accomplishments and confident the current team will continue to build on the success of the brand.”

Williams-Sonoma Inc. has initiated an internal and external search to identify the next president of West Elm.
