Aritzia's executives provided insights into the company's performance and strategies during the earnings call held on 2024-05-04.The company reported a 7% increase in net revenue over the last quarter of 2024, highlighting its steady growth. However, a 3% drop in comparable sales indicated a slight deceleration in customer demand. The CEO, Jennifer Wong, acknowledged this and stated that operational adjustments were being made, such as aligning offerings more closely with consumer demand and operational metrics.Aritzia's strategic real estate expansion through the opening of new boutiques played a significant role in driving revenue growth. The revamping of boutiques not only elevated sales per square foot but also underscored the importance of optimizing retail spaces for improved customer engagement and sales growth.The introduction of new product lines, notably the golden and golden athletic assortments, proved instrumental in capturing consumer interest, reflecting Aritzia's agility in responding to evolving fashion trends. The company's ability to gauge consumer preferences accurately and introduce innovative products while ensuring the availability of client favorites was highlighted.Aritzia's investment in digital performance marketing marked a significant pivot in its strategy to enhance its online presence and customer experience. The CEO articulated the company's approach towards digital marketing, emphasizing the lower volume of markdown sales in Q4 and the better inventory position, despite the lower markdown sales volume. The commentary underscored Aritzia's strategic adjustments in response to inventory and sales performance, as well as its burgeoning focus on digital marketing efforts.Looking ahead, Aritzia demonstrates a balanced growth strategy that values both the digital and physical retail domains. As the brand continues its physical retail expansion in fiscal 2025, its burgeoning digital strategy, focused on enhancing the e-commerce platform and investing in digital marketing, is set to propel the company forward, further solidifying its market position as a digitally-forward brand.While Aritzia has shown steady growth and adaptability, the company acknowledges the need for operational adjustments to align with consumer demand and optimize performance. The executives' comments during the earnings call highlighted a realistic and balanced approach, focusing on strategic initiatives across physical and digital channels to drive long-term growth.

When Jennifer Wong was an economics student at the University of British Columbia, she walked into an Aritzia store with her resumé. The company at the time was only three years old and operated two locations. She landed a part-time job, which led to other Aritzia jobs as the company grew. Three decades later, she became Chief Executive Officer of the clothing retail giant that now boasts 117 stores in two countries, plus a global online presence.“My journey has really been about figuring things out, learning new things and overcoming problems,” she tells Goldy Hyder in the Speaking of Businesspodcast. It helps that she knows the business from the shop floor up, an experience that gives her a unique approach to dealing with the ups and downs of the marketplace. “I like to seek to understand,” she says.That problem-solving approach helped Aritzia weather the COVID-19 pandemic. When retail stores were closed, employees pivoted to working for the company's online business, resulting in no layoffs.Wong says the staff felt they were part of a bigger common goal, which was to keep Aritzia going during the pandemic. “That's another thing that I love about Aritzia,” she says, “we have a lot of heart.”Listen to the full conversation – including how Aritzia expanded to the United States, and why it makes a point of supporting women throughout its supply chain – on the Speaking of Business podcast.

Jennifer Wong (affectionately known as “Jwong”) is a product designer, design coach/mentor, and one of the most authentic people I know. We met while working together at our previous jobs, and both got laid off on the same day.In this episode, we cover:* Understanding the “why's” behind personal and team demotivation* Founding her own startup and why she decided that pursuing entrepreneurship wasn't her full time aspiration* What it means to be a woman in design, and the implied career limitations if you're a career woman who wants to have a family * Why she would describe herself as a naive diva in her early career * Servant leadership, what a good manager does to empower their employees, and how to command respect without demanding it* How she went from being laid off to a job offer from Netflix in 5 weeks (!! can you design the new cult docu-series please?!)* Questions you should ask in an interview to weed out toxic workplaces, and find out whether a manager is going to be great or notQuote of the day:* “When you're scared of something, that's not always a bad thing. If it scares the shit out of you, I think you should do it.” - JwongAmanda's post-recording reflections:I don't think you ever really overcome imposter syndrome, but learning that the way way you treat yourself, and the way you position yourself as a professional is the way that other people will think of you, too. One of Jwong's biggest pieces of advice for becoming a designer is to start with yourself- believe that you are worth of being a designer, and tell yourself that you are one. You won't get anywhere with learning new skills if your self doubt is louder than your self-trust.For me, this was true with starting to freelance, and with starting this podcast! I had a lot of imposter syndrome about doing both of those things, but the funny thing about getting laid off is it helps you move through it much faster (out of necessity lol). But honestly, everything started flowing more easily once I just got started and the words “I'm a freelancer” and “I'm a podcaster” came out of my mouth for the first time. Maybe you should try it with that thing you're scared to do too.Till next time,AmandaDo you know someone struggling with trying something new, becoming a designer, or showing up 100% authentically at work?

Durian is a pungent, rank smelling fruit common in Singapore that is hard to harvest and cut open. And yet, it's inspired scores of devotees, including food writer Jennifer Wong, who writes, “For those of us who hail durian as our king of fruits, the smell elicits an undeniable longing — for both the fruit itself and the cultural remembrance it represents.” Whether it's stinky tofu, roasted grasshoppers or chicken feet, many cultures embrace foods that might come off as unappetizing at first sniff. So, how do some seemingly unusual ingredients become delicacies? In our latest All You Can Eat segment with KQED Food Editor Luke Tsai, we dive into funky foods that we aren't supposed to love – but do so unabashedly.

Good Dirt: Conversations with Leaders in Real Estate & Beyond

Mike Byrne is AEW's Chief Investment Officer and Head of Private Equity and Private Debt in North America. He has been with AEW since 2003, and today is responsible for overseeing all of AEW's commingled funds, separate accounts and direct investments in North America. In this capacity he is responsible for the strategic direction and oversight of the Firm's portfolio management, acquisitions, capital markets and asset management functions in addition to managerial responsibility of the Private Equity Group resources. Mr. Byrne also serves on AEW's Investment Committee, Risk Management Committee and Governance Committee in North America, and he is a member of AEW's Global Investment Committee. Prior to joining AEW, he was a member of the real estate team at the Pension Reserve Investment Management Board (“Mass PRIM”), where he managed the pension fund's real estate and timber portfolios. Prior to that he worked at Citigroup in the real estate investment banking group. Mr. Byrne is a member of the Urban Land Institute (U.L.I.) and NAREIM, and a graduate of Dartmouth College.Our conversation with Mike begins with his graduation from Dartmouth, where he captained the men's hockey team, and entered the workforce at Salomon Smith Barney (Citigroup) as an investment banking analyst in the Real Estate & Lodging Group. With his first day in the real estate group falling on 9/11, Mike shares with us how this made for a strange start to a career. Amidst the ensuing capital markets turmoil, Mike then returned to his local roots and joined Mass PRIM as an analyst supporting the pension plan's real estate and timber allocation strategies. We discuss how this gave Mike a unique perspective and foundation for the balance of his career, all of which has been spent in the real estate investment management business with AEW which he joined almost 20 years ago in 2003.The bulk of our discussion centers around the tremendous growth and success of AEW over the years. Mike's passion for AEW shines through as he shares with us observations on company culture, operating partner selection, the firm's innovative menu of investment strategies, investing through cycles and AEW's current outlook on the market from Mike's perspective as CIO.This was a terrific look into AEW, one of the world's largest real estate investment managers with almost $100 billion of assets under management, 830 employees in 18 offices across the globe, and over 800 institutional clients. Mike Byrne is one of the market's most prominent and respected investment management professionals, and this episode makes it clear why. We look forward to having Mike and his teammates back to Good Dirt as we know we've just scratched the surface.For more information on AEW please visit https://www.aew.com/*** As mentioned in the episode intro, the Bisnow Boston Healthcare Real Estate Summit will be held on Weds, May 24th.

Jenn first took us back in her studies, discovering FORTRAN and MATLAB and hating every minute of it. Fast forward a few years, she found she was missing the visual aspect of programming, and as soon as she put a finger into web development, off, she went. We spoke about her first jobs, good and bad managers. We spoke about transitioning from small to big to small companies. We discussed the advantages of a strong product company. And we finally talked about engineering management and how Jenn became a manager and reflected upon her former experiences.Here are the links from the show:https://www.twitter.com/mybluewristbandhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferewong/https://www.mochimachine.com/https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/five-questions-with-jennifer-wong/CreditsCover Heliotrope by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribeDev InterruptedWhat the smartest minds in engineering are thinking about, working on and investing in.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Welcome to Being F'ing Honest, the podcast that is a place for honesty, a place for fun, and a place to talk about things that aren't normally talked about. In this introductory episode, we meet our two hosts, Jennifer Wong and Charity Rodriguez, get some insight into their respective backgrounds, and discover how they mutually identified the need for a podcast that showcases honesty, transparency, and vulnerability among normal, everyday people. You'll hear about their mutual experiences of having to be caretakers to parents with dementia, Jennifer's brush with death, and Charity's unexpected diagnosis, as well as the wake-up calls they received from these experiences. We also chat about the pandemic and how it has shifted our perspectives of what is really important, and our hosts open up about the changes they've made as a result of their health scares, the struggles of stopping to take care of themselves, and the difficulties of asking for help. For the first of many relatable, needed, and f'ing honest conversations, join us today!
