Moriya Rockman
Founder, Smiling House Luxury
Moriya Rockman is a visionary entrepreneur at the forefront of luxury travel and property technology. In 2024, she launched Villa Tracker, the first-of-its-kind B2B platform connecting property managers with travel professionals—including event planners, concierges, travel agents, and designers—worldwide. Villa Tracker is already making waves, having been selected by Second Century Ventures as one of the top eight most promising startups and joining the prestigious 2025 REECH Accelerator Programme.
Moriya’s pioneering efforts in reshaping the vacation rental landscape began with Smiling House Luxury Group, an OTA she co-founded that now offers a curated collection of 12,500 luxury properties across 50 countries and 400 destinations. Smiling House quickly became a recognized leader in the space, winning the 2022 SHORTYZ Award for “Best Holiday Site Operator.”
Continuing to innovate, in 2022 Moriya introduced Triangle.Luxury, a platform that opens access to $600M worth of off-market luxury vacation homes for sale. Tailored for investors and family offices, it blends real estate with hospitality by offering robust investment data and operational continuity via professional short-term rental managers.
Celebrated for her bold and forward-thinking approach, Moriya was awarded the 2020 SHORTYZ Pioneer Award, a testament to her influential role in evolving the global short-term rental industry.
