Our Story
X5 Management was founded in 2006 by Mike Mack with a clear purpose: to help businesses unlock the full potential of their people. With a background in leadership, sales, and customer service, Mike saw a consistent challenge across industries, organizations were struggling to engage their teams and align them toward common goals.
From day one, X5 Management set out to offer more than advice. We delivered customized strategies to strengthen leadership, communication, sales performance, customer service, and accountability. These five pillars became the foundation of our name and our work – X5, representing a multiplier effect for the businesses we serve.
In the early years, we focused on building trust and delivering hands-on, personalized support. Our approach resonated with small and medium-sized businesses, many of whom continue to partner with us to this day.
As client needs grew, so did we. Our services expanded to include executive coaching, team development, strategic planning, and facilitation. We’ve supported clients across sectors – from manufacturing to construction to non-profit—always adapting to deliver meaningful, measurable results.
Today, we proudly deliver these services to clients in Edmonton, Calgary, and throughout Alberta, as well as in Vancouver and across Western Canada.
Today, with nearly two decades of experience, our team continues to live our core values:
- Be humble, personable, and respectful
- Stay adaptable and resourceful
- Remain open and driven
- Always act with trust and integrity
Our impact is best reflected in our clients’ success – whether it’s boosting performance, building strong leaders, or creating positive cultures.
As we look ahead, we’re focused on growing our reach, evolving our services, and continuing to align leaders and teams to achieve.
