Our team
Emerald Stay® is the first prop-tech to manage premium homes in non-urban destinations.
Our team is disrupting the fragmented vacation rental market by building a hospitality brand from the ground up. Guests can expect a consistent Emerald Stay experience with reliable tech at every touchpoint, while homeowners can sit back and digitally monitor how their property is being monetised, as well as pampered, while they are not there. It’s called Smart Ownership®.
We have offices in Geneva and Barcelona, and team members in each of our destinations. Last but not least, we have raised more than €10m from prominent investors in order to back our growth and are now profitable.

Who we are
We're a team based between Barcelona, Geneva and our destinations. Our background is in hospitality, technology, real-estate and finance.
About half of us have their boots on the ground, while the other half work at the head office managing guest and homeowner relationships, and building and operating our technology and distribution infrastructure. We love what we do, and who we do it with.

CULTURE
ABOUT OUR CULTURE
We offer a work environment that values and empowers people while fostering personal development. Our culture is dictated by the following values
Equivóquese
Fomentamos un entorno creativo en el que ganan las mejores ideas, en el que está bien cometer errores y es inaceptable no aprender de ellos.
Cuestione
No aceptamos el status quo y buscamos formas de aprovechar la tecnología al tiempo que potenciamos a las personas.
Cuide
Nos importan los miembros de nuestro equipo, nuestros socios y nuestros clientes, y hacemos que nuestra pasión y nuestro trabajo sean una misma cosa.
Hable
Somos personas sinceras, que no temen compartir opiniones y que no hablan a espaldas de nadie.
Piense a lo grande
Sin dejar de ser humildes, aspiramos a las estrellas y trabajamos para alcanzar los objetivos y parámetros establecidos.
No se conforme
Estamos obsesionados con la calidad, como un relojero suizo.
