Mr. Beveridge joins SuperQ following a distinguished career as a Partner at MNP, one of Canada's largest national accounting, tax, and business consulting firms. With over 30 years of experience in cybersecurity strategy, digital transformation, and enterprise risk management, Mr. Beveridge is a recognized expert in navigating the complexities of the modern threat landscape.

Securing the Future with Post-Quantum Solutions
In his new role, Mr. Beveridge will spearhead SuperQ's strategic initiatives in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), focusing on building high-value partnerships and helping global enterprises mitigate the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) threat. He will lead the deployment of SuperQ's end-to-end security stack, which enables organizations to transition seamlessly from quantum vulnerability to quantum-ready defense. His focus will be on technology commercialization, ensuring that Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and digital advisory firms have access to SuperQ's diagnostic and defense tools, partner solutions, and quantum expertise to fortify their clients' critical networks and data infrastructure.
"Brian is a transformative addition to our executive team. His deep roots in enterprise consulting and his sophisticated understanding of the cybersecurity ecosystem are exactly what SuperQ needs as we productize quantum readiness," said Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ. "As we scale, our strategy is to empower the world's leading consultants to deliver our technology, not to compete with them. Brian's role is to ensure our partners have the 'Super' advantage—providing them with the underlying infrastructure they need to solve complex optimization and cybersecurity challenges for their clients."
Throughout his career, Mr. Beveridge has been instrumental in advising C-suite executives on resilience and digital trust. His appointment reflects SuperQ's strategic focus on the software and accessibility layer of the quantum stack—the segment of the industry where shareholder value is most rapidly realized.
"SuperQ is solving one of the most urgent challenges of our time: the vulnerability of our global cryptographic infrastructure," said Brian Beveridge. "I have spent my career helping organizations navigate digital shifts, but the transition to post-quantum security is the most significant pivot yet. I am thrilled to join SuperQ to deliver scalable, automated remediation tools that provide immediate commercial utility and long-term data sovereignty for our clients."
