LAS VEGAS, NV, January 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jonathan Q. Stoker has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Jonathan Stoker is a visionary entrepreneur whose influence on vacation ownership has rapidly accelerated since founding Vacation Ownership Advisor / VOA Worldwide LLC (VOA) in November 2020. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, VOA was built with a singular purpose: to elevate the post-sale member experience by managing not just resort stays, but an owner's entire travel and loyalty portfolio—including hotel, airline, credit-card rewards, and global experience inventory at net rates.

Since taking the helm as CEO in 2020, Mr. Stoker has led VOA's evolution into a premium membership ecosystem that serves clients across continents. His leadership emphasizes authentic service, structured operational excellence, and transparency, shifting industry expectations toward proactive member care and centralized portfolio optimization. This approach has positioned VOA as a franchise-ready alternative to short-lived travel-club roadshows, reinforcing the importance of stability, trust, and long-term owner outcomes.

In 2023, Mr. Stoker achieved a milestone few founders reach in a lifetime—receiving the Entrepreneur of the Year award in the vacation-ownership sector, in only his third year as CEO, a distinction traditionally earned after two decades or more in the field. His recognition continued to compound. In 2025, VOA was honored by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as the No. 1 Vacation Ownership Advisor in the United States, validating its national prominence. Most recently, in February 2025, Mr. Stoker was awarded Industry Leader of the Year at GNEX conference in Las Vegas, Nevada a peer-voted honor celebrating innovation, influence, and excellence in consumer experience design.

Before launching VOA, Mr. Stoker's career was shaped by leadership roles at two of the world's most respected hospitality and ownership brands:

Hilton Grand Vacations — Sales Manager (2012–2016)
Developing expertise in negotiation, client relations, and sales leadership.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Miami Beach — Director of Sales (2016–2017)
Leading diverse teams and expanding regional market visibility.

Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Las Vegas — Sales Manager (2017–2020)
Driving revenue growth and overseeing sales execution and strategic team development.

Mr. Stoker's academic studies in Criminal Law at Georgia College & State University (1996) contributed to the analytical discipline and ethical decision-making that continue to inform his leadership today.

Reflecting on his career trajectory, Mr. Stoker credits his introduction to the vacation-ownership industry to attending the GNEX Conference, where early connections with seasoned leaders and mentors helped shape his operational philosophy. He emphasizes that leadership without purpose is incomplete, and that sustainable entrepreneurship requires building value that improves the lives of others, not just the bottom line.

Outside the boardroom, Jonathan remains equally driven. He enjoys time with his son, the gym, sports, and traveling with family—interests that mirror the lifestyle VOA was built to serve. His long-term ambition is to expand globally through franchise infrastructure, deepen partnerships across Asia-Pacific, and continue influencing the vacation-ownership industry through trusted service, innovation, and owner empowerment.

Jonathan's leadership philosophy is simple but defining:

"Travel is purpose. Innovation is responsibility. Care is the new standard."
