HorizonX Corporation

What HorizonX Corporation does

HorizonX Corporation is a privately held boutique consulting firm founded in 2023 by Steve Suarez, a former Global Head of Innovation at HSBC, and headquartered in London with regional offices in Dubai, Miami, and Singapore. The firm operates with a team of approximately 1–10 employees and is led by Founder & CEO Steve Suarez, supported by Partner Gaurav Sharma, Executive Consultant Martin Tyler, Head of Partnerships Natalia Garcia, and team member Lisa Guadagno. Its legal entity is incorporated in the United Kingdom, doing business as both "HorizonX" and "HorizonX Consulting."

The company's core offering is organized around four service pillars: Innovation Strategy, Quantum Strategy & Advisory, Artificial Intelligence, and Corporate Training. Services are delivered as time-boxed professional-services engagements on a project-based pricing model — for example, quantum readiness assessments run 6–10 weeks, use-case deep-dives 8–16 weeks, and focused proofs-of-concept 3–6 months, with phases typically labeled Discover, Design, and Deliver. Proprietary methodologies include an Innovation Readiness Assessment Framework and a Quantum Readiness Assessment with 3–5 year action planning. The firm has no proprietary software platform and explicitly relies on partner technology ecosystems, notably IBM AI tools via the IBM Partner Plus silver partnership (announced February 2024) and QuSecure for quantum-resilient security (September 2024). Corporate training is anchored by 28 MIT xPRO co-developed courses and a flagship Executive Quantum Strategy Course launched in June 2025 after 1.5 years of co-development, with the HORIZONX promotional code providing client discounts.

HorizonX targets large enterprises across finance, critical infrastructure, government, and technology, with named logos including Mitsubishi, Oxford University, Engage, and Pramatra alongside partnership relationships with IBM and QuSecure. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, channel partnerships (IBM, MIT xPRO, QuSecure), and event-driven thought leadership (Economist Commercialising Quantum Global 2024, International Year of Quantum 2025). The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no patents, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue figures.
