MoxiWorks Chief Product Officer Ashley Fidler Receives HousingWire Vanguard Award

MoxiWorks is proud to announce that its Chief Product Officer, Ashley Fidler, PhD, has been named a winner of the prestigious 2026 HousingWire Vanguard Award. This accolade highlights her significant contributions to the real estate industry, particularly for spearheading the comprehensive redesign of MoxiWorks' platform into RISE, an advanced native-AI relationship intelligence system.

The HousingWire Vanguard Awards are designed to honor top executives in the residential mortgage, real estate brokerage, and homebuilding sectors who have made substantial impacts on their businesses over the past year. Fidler’s exceptional leadership and innovative thinking made her a standout among industry leaders, ultimately leading to meaningful advancements in real estate technology.

Transforming Real Estate with RISE

RISE represents a revolutionary shift in how real estate professionals manage their businesses. Under Fidler’s guidance, the new platform consolidates essential tools, including customer relationship management (CRM), email marketing, presentation tools, and advertising, into a cohesive system. This integration resolves the previous issue of having these functions operating in isolation, thereby enhancing efficiency for brokers and agents alike.

"This recognition belongs to the entire product and engineering team at MoxiWorks," stated Fidler. Her confidence in her team’s collaborative efforts highlights the spirit of innovation that has driven the creation of RISE. "RISE was built on a simple idea: AI creates real value when it’s integrated into the workflow of a business, rather than simply being an add-on feature."

Since its launch in November 2025, RISE has rolled out over 80 new features, garnering praise from brokerages and agents for the meaningful savings in time and improvements in overall results. The new system learns the specific context of each agent’s business, allowing it to provide proactive support through what Fidler refers to as agentic AI. This feature not only suggests the next best course of action but is also prepared to implement these actions immediately upon the agent’s approval.

A Voice of Influence in AI and Real Estate

With a robust background that includes more than 15 years of experience in building AI-powered products and two decades in machine learning, Fidler has become a prominent voice in the integration of AI within the real estate sector. Her journey began in academia, where she published research with IEEE and Interspeech during her tenure at Microsoft. A notable achievement includes holding a U.S. patent for query dialogue state modification.

In the past year, Fidler has shared her insights on various prominent platforms, including NAR NXT and Inman Connect, discussing the genuine value AI can bring to brokerage operations and where it may not meet expectations. Eric Elfman, CEO of MoxiWorks, praised Fidler’s guidance in developing RISE, emphasizing her ability to enhance what makes agents irreplaceable.

Celebrating the Honor

The HousingWire Vanguard Awards are among the highest honors in the housing industry, recognizing leaders who showcase innovation, growth, and improved performance. Fidler joins a distinguished group of honorees across the mortgage, real estate brokerage, and homebuilding industries. Her recognition underscores the positive momentum created at MoxiWorks and the commitment to continual improvement in the real estate technology space.
