Day with a Pro: Michelle Farabaugh, VP of marketing, West Marine

“If I am not on a conference call or working on something that has to go out in the next 10 minutes and I can’t be interrupted, my door doesn’t close. That’s my rule,” says Farabaugh. “I want to be really approachable for everyone on my team and in the company. That is how you build a strong team. I am usually in the office from 7 a.m. until 6 or 7 p.m. I get most of my work done really early in the morning and late at night when everyone else is gone. During the day, I work for my team.”
