• James Mixa

  President

  

  James started his career in finance in the collection department of a West Coast factor in 1963. He steadily worked his way up the corporate ladder, from collector to credit officer to account executive and finally to SVP and manager of the California region for New York-based factor. In 1984 the entrepreneurial spirit that runs deep in his family history took hold and he started the company that is now Axim.

  With a strong vision for the future, James started a business to manage A/R in an outsourced capacity–before outsourcing was identified as a competitive business strategy. This foresight is still inherent in the company today as Axim leverages modern technology and communications strategies to provide every client with the best A/R experience possible.

  James currently spends his days guiding Axim’s vision for the future, finding new business and assisting on credit investigations for clients requiring lines in excess of $1 million.

• Erik Mixa

  Operations

  

  Erik oversees the day-to-day operations at Axim. He joined the family business in 2006 after spending his first few years after college working at a jeans manufacturer in downtown Los Angeles. With a few years of life experience and a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Chico firmly in hand, Erik began his career at Axim making collection calls and checking credit from a remote office. As the company has grown, so has Erik’s desire to find efficiencies in the company’s business model and daily processes. Today, much of his time is spent with client onboarding, overseeing IT, managing staff and working on the latest updates to Axcelerate A/R, Axim’s proprietary receivable software.

  Outside of the office, Erik can be found trying to create a semblance of peace with his two young toddlers and daydreaming about upcoming outdoor adventures with the family.
