Yardi: Built on values, ready for what’s next
by Anant Yardi
Yardi systems was founded in 1984 to provide software for managing properties. We began with a single client and an Apple II computer. Today, Yardi has over 10,000 employees who support thousands of organizations worldwide, helping manage buildings, communities, and portfolios of all sizes.
Through every chapter of our journey, we have held to a simple but powerful belief: take care of our clients, take care of our employees, take care of our communities, stay focused, and grow through innovation.
Today, I am pleased to share the next chapter in Yardi’s story:
Rob Teel will become Yardi’s next CEO in 2026.
I will transition into the role of Chairman, remaining actively engaged in our work and supporting Rob and our leadership team as they guide Yardi into our fifth decade.
Rob joined Yardi more than two decades ago. Over the last 20 years, Rob has played a central role in guiding the company through many transitions. Rob understands that leadership is service and that focus, and innovation are essential for delivering value.
To our clients: thank you for letting us be part of your story. To our employees: thank you for your commitment and dedication. To our communities: thank you for reminding us what truly matters.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you. I look to the future with great optimism that our principles and traditions will continue to guide the company in the next decade.
