NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 7, 2025 / Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIXX) ("Nixxy" or the "Company") today announced that its majority-owned, publicly traded subsidiary, Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTC:AESO), which is in the process of rebranding as CognoGroup, Inc., has acquired Wizco Group, Inc.'s ("Wizco") AI-powered interview coaching software asset, "Ava."

Founded in May, 2020, New York-based Wizco is a personalized career management hub that integrates cutting-edge AI with human knowledge, helping individuals with all career-related decisions, from career planning and interview preparation to professional upskilling and securing job offers.

This asset purchase is part of Nixxy's broader strategy to build a synergistic portfolio of AI-driven businesses and technologies that address high-impact, scalable market opportunities. In 2024, Nixxy's shareholders approved a spin-off of certain legacy assets and liabilities into AESO as part of a corporate reorganization.

Commenting on the transaction, Nixxy Interim CEO Miles Jennings, who also serves as CEO of AESO, stated, "Our purchase of Ava aligns seamlessly with our strategic vision of leveraging AI to drive meaningful transformation across industries with high, technology-driven growth potential. Our priority remains scaling our core AI-driven telecom and data services, where we see strong near-term revenue potential. At the same time, we continue to identify and cultivate high-value, IP-rich opportunities that enhance the long-term intrinsic value of our growing portfolio.

"As we develop AESO (to be rebranded as CognoGroup) into an integrated AI portfolio focused on building human creative potential, we are continuing to evaluate its potential for monetization whether through a spinout, divestiture, or other value-creating initiatives."
