Key Talbots executive leaving

Hingham, Mass. -- The Talbots said in a regulatory filing that key executive John Fiske is leaving the company.



Fiske, 46, was named the chief stores officer of the company in March 2009 after serving as a human resources executive. He was part of a management team that was put in place to improve business results.



Talbots has been struggling in its turnaround efforts. The company cut its guidance last month after a weak holiday shopping season.
