Since its inception in 1956, Landis Construction has been managed under the leadership of the Landis family: ■1956 – 1976 Frederick S. Landis, Founder & President ■1976 – 1987 Evelyn Landis Christman, Chairman of the Board ■1978 – 2015 James C. Landis, President & CEO ■2015 – present Anne Teague Landis, CEO Frederick (Fred) settled in New Orleans with his wife Evelyn Landis following his service in World War II with the U.S. Corp of Engineers. After working in the local construction industry for Keller Construction Co. for a few years, he decided to venture out and start his own general contracting company. Fred founded Landis Construction Co, Inc. in 1956 and began teaching the trade to his son James (Jim) Landis when he was just 14 years old, having him dig ditches and carry lumber on job sites. Following Fred's premature death in 1976, a 34-year-old Jim Landis found himself at the helm of the company his dad had founded 25 years earlier. His widow Evelyn preserved the family leadership of the company by becoming Chairman of the Board for several years until 1978 when Jim officially took over as President and CEO. Anne Teague Landis began learning the administrative side of the company as young as Jim started learning the building side, working in the office during summer breaks. When Anne Teague joined Landis permanently in 2008, she began working side-by-side with her father to learn every aspect of the business. In 2015, Jim decided to step down as CEO and turn the company's management over to Anne Teague. A female CEO in a largely male-dominated industry, Anne Teague has built upon her family’s legacy. Rooted in the same core values upon which it was founded 65 years ago, Landis continues to evolve, adapt, and grow, attributing its longevity and success to the relationships with its clients, subcontractors, community partners, and employees who boast an average tenure of more than a decade.
