OUR STORY

Established in 2018, SUCON’s name combines that of Susana, the daughter of the firm’s founder and President, and the word Consultancy. The name’s origin reflects the firm’s commitment to family, integrity, and culture.

The SUCON INTERNATIONAL emblem mimics that of an arrow pointing forward in essence and spirit of moving forward. The arrow’s direction to the right is in alignment with the greater-then (>) mathematics symbol. Combined, the  SUCON symbol stands for us moving forward in a direction that is greater than what is current. The colour red symbolizes that blood is thicker than water, and that family is a priority in our organisation. The grey symbolizes the challenges and obstacles. The black is outlined as a bird flying in the direction of the arrow, moving forward beyond the challenges to achieve greatness.
