In addition, Sears home
services chief Mark Good announced his departure in a memo sent to employees Tuesday. Both executives played a big role in hedge fund manager Edward Lampert's efforts to turn the combination of Kmart
and Sears into a thriving retailer. That effort has to date met with little success.
McGuire, who is in her mid-50s, joined Sears in October 2005 after a 30-year career at IBM, where she was a strategy and marketing executive. She worked closely with Lampert at offices in Greenwich, Conn., where he also operates his hedge fund.
