SAN FRANCISCO — A week after Yahoo! Inc. warned its first-quarter revenue and earnings will miss Wall Street forecasts, the company said its head of sales will leave in May, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Anil Singh, 42, chief sales and marketing officer and senior vice president of business operations, plans to retire from the company “to spend more time with his family and pursue personal interests,” a Yahoo spokeswoman said.

The announcement comes soon after the company’s first-ever earnings warning and the launch of a search for a new chief executive to succeed Tim Koogle, who will remain as chairman.
