Which name does the -san go behind surname or given name?
In business you should speak more formally. You should refer to a person by
their family name. If you use their given name for any reason, you should use
their full name. For example:

Your business acquaintance has the family name "Saito" and the given name
"Kenji". In conversation, you should call him "Saito-san". If you need to call
him Kenji, you should call him "Saito Kenji-san".

Never use "-san" after your own name.
