About BormansZX

BormansZX team collaborating in modern office space

Transforming Canadian tech businesses through innovative process optimization since 2012

Our Story

BormansZX was founded in 2012 by Michael Borman and Anna Zaxby, two former tech executives who recognized a critical gap in Canada's burgeoning technology sector. Having worked with numerous startups and mid-sized companies, they observed that while Canadian innovation was world-class, many promising ventures struggled with operational inefficiencies that limited their growth potential.

Starting with just four clients in Toronto's emerging tech district, Michael and Anna developed a proprietary framework for process optimization that blended Agile methodologies with data-driven automation strategies. Their approach proved revolutionary, helping their initial clients reduce development cycles by an average of 40% while significantly improving product quality.

By 2015, BormansZX had expanded to a team of twelve consultants serving clients across Ontario. The company's reputation for delivering measurable results attracted attention from venture capital firms who began recommending BormansZX to their portfolio companies as a strategic partner for operational excellence.

In 2018, we established our research division dedicated to studying emerging trends in business process optimization and technology management. This investment in ongoing research has allowed us to stay at the forefront of best practices and innovative approaches to solving complex operational challenges.

Today, BormansZX operates from our headquarters in downtown Toronto with a team of over 30 experts serving technology companies throughout Canada. We remain committed to our founding mission: empowering Canadian technology companies to achieve operational excellence through optimized processes and strategic automation.
