Go Companies Names Jay Promisco Ceo

Technology-driven mortgage platform Go Companies has appointed Jay Promisco as chief executive officer, the company announced on Thursday morning.

Promisco will lead the company’s next phase, focusing on modernizing mortgage origination through automation and data-driven decision-making, according to the company. He will also emphasize company culture and improve the borrower and originator experience.

Ohio-based Go Companies is the parent company of GO Mortgage. Sources told HousingWire in July 2025 that majority owner and CEO Michael Isaacs exited the company, putting current majority owner Jordan Hansell in the interim CEO slot.

In the past six months, per Modex data, Go Mortgage originated $279.42 million. In the past year, the company’s volume was $619.35 million across 1,754 units.

Promisco brings more than 20 years of executive leadership experience in building and scaling mortgage and financial services platforms. His background includes roles as president at Sierra Pacific Mortgage Company, a senior advisory consultant for JazzX AI, as well as several past leadership roles at Stearns Lending.

“Mortgage is at an inflection point,” said Promisco. “The winners over the next decade will be the most efficient, tech-enabled platforms focused on originator success. Mortgage is ultimately a people business and technology should make it easier for originators to do what they do best — build trust, guide borrowers and create great experiences.”

He continued, “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.”

Promisco said his priorities include strengthening the company’s culture, equipping teams to grow, using automation and artificial intelligence to cut costs, expanding channel capabilities with disciplined risk management and attracting talent through modern technology and performance-based incentives.

Go’s ownership group cited Promisco’s ability to turn technology investments into operational results as a key factor in the appointment.

“Jay 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,” said the ownership group. 

A spokesperson for Go Mortgage confirmed that Promisco’s first day will be Jan. 19.
