Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a business of Cassava Technologies, has appointed Bernard Beya as Chief Executive Officer of its Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) operations, reinforcing the company’s leadership as it accelerates investments in digital infrastructure and enterprise technology services across one of Africa’s fastest-growing digital markets.
Beya officially assumed the role on April 1, 2026, after serving as Acting CEO since November 2025. He succeeds into the position following nearly four years with the company, having joined Liquid DRC as Chief Financial Officer in September 2022.
With more than two decades of experience in the telecommunications sector, Beya is expected to spearhead Liquid’s expansion strategy in the DRC, where demand for high-speed connectivity, cloud computing, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence infrastructure continues to rise among businesses, governments and consumers.
“The DRC represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in our region, and Bernard’s appointment comes at an important moment in our journey,” said Sutha Siva, Executive Vice President and Group Chief Operating Officer at Cassava Technologies.
“His deep understanding of the local market, combined with his commitment to customer success and operational excellence, will help accelerate our ambitions to expand digital infrastructure and enable greater economic growth across the country.”
During his tenure as Acting CEO, Beya oversaw the company’s strategic, operational and commercial activities, helping strengthen its financial performance while deepening relationships with customers and partners.
“I am honoured to lead Liquid DRC’s next phase of growth,” Beya said.
“Our priority is to build on the strong operational and financial foundation we have established to deliver greater value for our customers and partners. As a business of Cassava Technologies, we can expand access to reliable connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, colocation and AI compute for our customers. We can play a meaningful role in accelerating digital transformation for the country’s enterprises, government and communities.”
The appointment comes as the Democratic Republic of the Congo intensifies efforts to digitise its economy through investments in broadband infrastructure, digital public services and technology skills development. The government’s digital transformation agenda aims to expand internet access, modernise public services and attract greater investment into the country’s growing technology ecosystem.
Liquid Intelligent Technologies has been expanding its presence across Africa by investing in fibre networks, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity solutions, hyperscale data centres and AI-ready digital infrastructure. The company says the DRC remains a strategic market due to its large population, increasing demand for enterprise connectivity and growing digital economy.
Under Beya’s leadership, Liquid DRC is expected to deepen its role in supporting enterprises, financial institutions, governments and telecommunications operators with secure connectivity and digital infrastructure designed to accelerate economic development and digital inclusion across the country.
