Kristy Anderson is a key contributor to the YMC growth over the past 20 years. Starting her hospitality career as an hourly associate, she has served the Yedla team in sales and operations at property level and in the corporate office in accounting and in her current role as Vice President / Accounting, Systems, and Analytics.

Of her broad ranging duties, a favorite job is mentoring and promoting team members into their first General Manager jobs. Yedla Management Company has been growing rapidly over the past few years and that has created many opportunities to recruit new talent into the company. She often tells the story that in her first General Manager role, she didn’t know everything but she showed up every day, on time, and ready to learn. That daily dedication still guides her today and sets a true course for her hotel teams to be successful.
