A message from Yavqo Corporation
Today, Yavqo Corporation announces that its founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Luan Kenning, intends to retire from his executive responsibilities in October 2028.
The decision marks a significant transition in Yavqo's history, more than a decade after Kenning founded the company in 2017.
Kenning will continue leading Yavqo throughout the transition period, working closely with the Board of Directors and executive leadership to prepare the company for its next chapter.
Building Something That Lasts
Yavqo started in 2017 with a simple idea: technology should push humanity forward.
What began as an ambitious vision grew into a technology company spanning artificial intelligence, software, hardware, digital infrastructure, and other emerging technologies.
Over the years, Yavqo has expanded its ambitions, invested in research and development, and built products designed to make advanced technology more accessible and useful.
Throughout that journey, Kenning has remained closely involved in the company's direction, product development, and long-term strategy.
His retirement will represent the end of an important chapter, but not the end of the mission he started.
Yavqo was never meant to depend on one person. It was built to outlast its founder.
A Personal Decision
In explaining his decision, Kenning emphasized the importance of spending more time with the people who matter most to him.
After years of dedicating much of his life to building and leading Yavqo, he has decided to make his personal life a greater priority.
Kenning shared the following statement:
"I started Yavqo in 2017 because I believed we could build something that mattered.
That belief hasn't changed.
But losing both of my parents taught me something that no amount of success can change: time is the one thing you can never get back.
You can build companies. You can make money. You can create technology that changes the world.
But none of it gives you another day with someone you've lost.
I've spent much of my life building Yavqo. I'm proud of what we've accomplished, and I believe the best is still ahead of us.
Now I want to spend more of my life with the people I love.
This isn't about giving up on Yavqo. It's about recognizing that there's more to life than work.
I want to be there for the moments that matter.
And I don't want to realize that too late."
Preparing the Next Generation of Leadership
Kenning's planned retirement in October 2028 provides Yavqo with approximately two years to prepare for the transition.
During this period, the company intends to establish a structured succession process focused on long-term stability, continuity, and preserving Yavqo's culture of innovation.
The Board of Directors will oversee the selection of future executive leadership, with further announcements expected as the transition progresses.
Until his retirement, Kenning intends to remain actively involved in the company's operations, strategic decisions, and ongoing development.
Yavqo's existing product roadmaps, research initiatives, and long-term investments are expected to continue.
The company will provide additional information regarding Kenning's future involvement, including any continuing Board responsibilities, as those arrangements are finalized.
The Mission Continues
Yavqo's mission extends beyond any individual executive.
The company will continue investing in artificial intelligence, next-generation computing, digital infrastructure, and technologies designed to shape the future.
Its long-term ambitions remain unchanged.
Kenning concluded:
"I don't want Yavqo to stop growing when I leave.
I want it to become bigger than anything I could have built alone.
The greatest achievement of a founder isn't creating a company that needs them forever.
It's creating something that can succeed without them.
We still have two years of work ahead.
Let's make them count."
Looking Ahead
October 2028 will mark the conclusion of Kenning's planned tenure as Chief Executive Officer and the beginning of a new era for Yavqo.
Until then, the company's focus remains on executing its strategy, supporting its employees and customers, and building technology for the future.
Further updates on the leadership transition will be shared through the Yavqo Newsroom.
The leadership will change. The mission won't.
