Melck was a member and former chair of the Executive Committee of Aritzia, and she directly led and oversaw numerous departmental and cross-functional projects of all sizes to build the necessary infrastructure to enable growth. Aritzia is a vertically integrated, innovative design house of exclusive fashion brands. It reported net revenue of $743.3 million in Fiscal 2018.

As Yield Growth is poised for further expansion, Melck joins at a critical moment. “We are excited to welcome Tamara to the team,” says Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth. “Her experience helping Aritzia grow into a leading fashion retailer will be invaluable to Yield Growth as we move forward to achieve our business goals.”
