The Pink Elephant in the Room

Every business has one—a massive, ignored IT problem that everyone sees but nobody knows how to fix.

Aging infrastructure. A security vulnerability waiting to happen. A compliance nightmare that keeps you up at night. And a team buried in repetitive tasks that AI could handle in seconds. These issues hold your growth hostage and drain your budget on empty dollars.

Since 2006, Co-CIO has brought enterprise-grade infrastructure expertise directly to your leadership table—and now we bring AI with us. We'll modernize your operations, automate what shouldn't be manual, and make your business the most technologically advanced in your market. Big-city capabilities. Small-town partnership.

Fractional Leadership, Full-Scale Impact
We don't just fix computers. We sit at your leadership table as your CIO or CTO—building strategy, managing risk, and aligning technology with your bottom line. From 5-person shops to global enterprises, we bring the same intensity: find the waste, kill the busywork, deploy AI where it matters, and get it done without wasting your time, energy, or money.
🛡

HIPAA & Compliance

Healthcare clinics, legal firms, and financial offices trust us to navigate HIPAA, SOX, and regulatory requirements with TS-clearance-grade reliability.

🗺

Strategic Roadmaps

3–5 year technology plans that align with your business goals. No jargon. No upselling. Just a clear path from where you are to where you need to be.

🏭

Industrial & Office IT

From boardrooms to barn-shops, we bridge the gap between office networks and rugged physical environments across Middle Tennessee.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Hybrid cloud architecture, network design, disaster recovery, and migration planning. Enterprise infrastructure scaled for your budget.

🔒

Cybersecurity

Vulnerability assessments, incident response planning, security policy development, and employee training. Proactive protection, not reactive panic.

💰

Eliminate Empty Dollars

Redundant licenses, manual processes a bot could handle, overpaying for cloud services—we find every dollar you're wasting and put it back in your pocket. Most clients save 15–30% in year one.

Stop Paying People to Do What AI Does Better
Your competitors are already using AI to cut costs and move faster. Every hour your team spends on repetitive, manual tasks is money walking out the door. We identify those empty dollars and replace them with intelligent automation—so your people focus on what actually grows your business.

Mom-and-Pop Shops to Global Enterprises

Since 2006, Jess Disney has been building, securing, and modernizing IT infrastructure for organizations of every size—from 5-person family businesses to BNY Mellon's 60,000-seat global VDI platform across 6 datacenters servicing every country globally. B.S. in Data Communications (Salutatorian), VMware vExpert, VCP-DCV, Azure Architect, and a stack of certs from CompTIA to Citrix backing two decades of hands-on virtualization, converged infrastructure, and datacenter architecture.

That range is the superpower. The same person who architected 28 Dell VxRail/R770 vSAN hyperconverged clusters for a Fortune 500 bank, migrated 60,000 desktops down to 35,000 while launching Azure VDI, and led healthcare deployments across 100+ hospital Emergency Departments—is the one who'll sit across your table and ask, "What's actually costing you money right now?"

Co-CIO brings that enterprise-grade expertise—HIPAA compliance, SOX auditing, cybersecurity, and cutting-edge AI—directly to Middle Tennessee businesses. But here's what makes it different: Jess builds AI solutions in his home lab for fun. A 7-GPU AI cluster across 2 servers, autonomous agents that monitor infrastructure and auto-remediate 24/7 (reachable from anywhere on any device), 20+ Docker containers running LLM inference, automated diagnostics, and intelligent task delegation. The best way to learn IT is to build IT—and that passion is the competitive advantage he brings to every client.

Outside of IT, Jess is a Civil Air Patrol Major, FEMA-certified Mission Transport & Orientation Pilot with 750+ flight hours and 2,100+ landings across 10+ aircraft types, a former adjunct IT professor, and a lifelong Middle Tennessee native. He volunteers free introductory flights through EAA Young Eagles because he believes in giving back to the community that raised him.

If you're not enjoying what you do, you're doing it wrong. Whether you're a 5-person shop or a 5,000-seat enterprise, you deserve a CIO who knows your name, loves what he does, and gets it done.
