Tamara J. Berndt, vice president, residential, consulting practices at Yardi, works closely with Costello. She has seen him assist many of the company’s complex clients.

During customer service week, the team received an extraordinary kudos from a client stating that “Cody was the best account manager [she has] ever had.”

“That is high praise from a client that has been using the Yardi suite of products for more than 15 years,” reflect Berndt. “I never have to worry about Cody’s clients. He just takes care of business. He does it with a calm and professional manner that instills confidence and gets the job done!”

Berndt continues, “Cody does a great job taking care of his clients. He is helpful towards his colleagues. Cody embodies the ‘whatever it takes’ attitude of the services department.”

We caught up with Costello to learn more about the man behind the VP Award honor.

TBS: What does it mean to you to receive the VP award?

Costello: I think this means I might actually be kind of good at this job! I think it’s easy to get caught up in the now without looking back to see how far I’ve really come since I first started here.

TBS: What do you enjoy most about working at Yardi?

Costello: There are so many things I enjoy, from the challenging and diverse work to the wonderful employees. If I absolutely had to pick one thing, I think it would be the freedom that is given on how to best complete my work and accomplish my goals. I’m given all of the tools and guidance I want along with the agency to chart my own course.

TBS: Outside of work, what are your hobbies and interests?

Costello: I never managed to kick my video game habit so that takes some of my time. However, I can easily say that my biggest passion is lifting weights in the gym.
