When Melinda Yee began her career with Deloitte & Touche LLP, she didn’t envision becoming a partner and spending more than 25 years with the organization. “I knew Deloitte would be a good place to start my career, but I thought of it as a training ground for the next opportunity,” Yee says. “I was fortunate to be able to move around in the organization and gain exposure to different industries and service areas. Ultimately, I found serving clients rewarding and have enjoyed the project- and team-focused environment, which is what has kept me with Deloitte.” 

Yee spent eight years working for Deloitte’s audit practice, including two years in Italy, before transferring to the firm’s M&A practice to focus on transactions. In an effort to differentiate herself, she began specializing in the oil and gas sector.

Through it all, Yee focused on forging strong relationships with colleagues and clients. Her hard work and dedication paid off in 2006, when she was named partner after 13 years with Deloitte.
