West Marine Names Paulee Day as CEO

Paulee Day has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of West Marine, effective immediately, marking the first time a woman has led the marine-retail company in its history. A lifelong boater with deep industry experience, Day previously served as Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary earlier in 2025.
