What’s with
the name?
For the curious, MXV stands for Mass X Velocity, the formula for momentum (no, it does not represent the year 1015, and none of the teams have names starting with X!).
In physics, momentum is a vector quantity possessing both a magnitude and a direction. An object with momentum can traverse very long distances, while one without it will struggle to move. We believe the term represents what we deliver to our clients. We enable organisations to envisage their future, scale up the enterprise, align the parts, and move forward purposefully, translating the additional momentum into leadership positions.
Momentum is hard to achieve and harder to sustain. It took physicists (including the likes of Descartes, Huygens, Newton, and Jennings) 1,200 years between conceptualising the idea of momentum and arriving at a formula for it. Organisations don’t have the resources to solve the challenges they face today. At MXV, we bridge that gap.
Why is our website black and white?
Because we’re black and white kinda people. Simple,
honest, clear, direct, cut to the chase.
We don’t
congratulate ourselves on creating a 1,000 pretty
charts, but by the results we deliver. That gives us
our high.
Proudly a
B Corp.

This certification means that we demonstrate high social and environmental performance and governance. It means we are committed to do the right thing.

Someone we draw inspiration from

Margaret was a 28-year-old who developed the software that put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon. Yes, she was 28 years old.
“We took our work seriously. Coming up with solutions and new ideas was an adventure. Dedication and commitment were a given. Mutual respect was across the board. Because software was a mystery, a black box upper management gave us the total freedom and trust we had to find a way, and we did." – Margaret Hamilton
We see a little of ourselves in Margaret Hamilton. We love her story; we love who she was and what she achieved. She wasn’t the exception at NASA. The average age of the engineers inside mission control for Apollo 11 was also a mere 28.
