Go Companies Names Jay Promisco CEO to Accelerate Tech-Enabled Mortgage Platform

Columbus, OH — January 19, 2026 — Go Companies, a technology-driven mortgage platform backed by institutional capital, today announced that Jay Promisco has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Promisco will lead the company’s next chapter with a mandate to modernize mortgage origination through automation, data-driven decisioning, and scalable growth across multiple channels.

Promisco brings more than 20 years of executive leadership experience building high-performance mortgage platforms at scale. Known for blending operational rigor with forward-leaning technology adoption, he has led initiatives spanning AI-enabled underwriting, cost-to-originate optimization, digital production models, and enterprise growth strategies.

“Mortgage is at an inflection point,” said Promisco. “The winners over the next decade will be the most efficient, tech-enabled platforms, focused on the originators success.  Go Companies has the capital, talent, and ambition to rethink how mortgages are originated, underwritten, and delivered. My focus is building a company designed for where the industry is going, not where it’s been.”

As CEO, Promisco will oversee all aspects of the platform, with an emphasis on:

• Leveraging automation and AI to reduce friction and operating costs
• Expanding channel capabilities while maintaining disciplined risk management
• Attracting top talent through modern tools, transparency, and performance-based culture

The ownership group cited Promisco’s ability to translate technology into real operational outcomes as a key driver of the appointment.

“Jay understands that technology is not a side project—it’s the operating system,” said the ownership group. “He has a track record of growing mortgage platforms by turning innovation into measurable results, and he shares our belief that the future mortgage company will look fundamentally different than do today’s companies.”

Promisco’s appointment signals Go Companies’ commitment to growing by building a next-generation mortgage platform—one that unifies sales, marketing, and technology to scale intelligently, adapt quickly, and deliver consistent value for originators and borrowers in any market cycle.
