The group
Learn more about us
Four questions we are asked most often, answered plainly.
Who we are
A global technology holding headquartered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Dubai. The group holds regional holdings — Parousia West Africa in Nigeria and Parousia East Africa in Kenya among them — and six operating companies.
What we do
We build and operate production platforms — not pilots. Each company owns its stack end to end, under shared group standards for security, availability and data governance.
Where we operate
Regional holdings in West Africa, East Africa, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East, each with delivery teams and support in-market, all under a single group governance model.
How we operate
Sovereign by default: our customers’ data stays under their jurisdiction, on infrastructure we control, with an auditable chain of custody from build to production.
Company history
The milestones that made us
Every step of the group has been an infrastructure decision — build it properly, own it, and make it available to the next market.
2016
The group is founded
Parousia Group is established as a technology holding with a single premise: build and own the infrastructure rather than rent it.
2018
Parousia West Africa
The West African holding is incorporated in Nigeria, and the group’s first communications and commerce platforms enter production.
2021
A shared group platform
The operating companies converge on one infrastructure, one identity model and one security standard — the foundation every Parousia product now inherits.
2023
Parousia East Africa
The East African holding opens in Nairobi, extending the group into the East African Community.
2024
Europe, the Americas and the Gulf
Offices open in the United Kingdom, the United States and Dubai, connecting African operations to international partners and capital.
2026
Sovereign by default
The group commits every platform to a sovereign operating model: customer data resident in the customer’s jurisdiction, on infrastructure the group controls.

Careers
Parousia is an inclusive employer
We hire for capability and character, and we build teams that reflect the markets we serve. Every role in the group is open to candidates from every background, and our recruitment process is designed to be measured against the work, not the pedigree.
We invest in the people we hire: structured mentoring, certification paths, and internal mobility across the six companies of the group and across our four regions.
Sustainability
Parousia is committed to a greener planet
Digital infrastructure has a physical footprint. We measure ours, we publish it, and we reduce it — because a technology group that ignores its energy and materials cost is not a serious one.
01.
Energy
We design our platforms for efficiency first and site our infrastructure where clean power is available, tracking energy per workload rather than per rack.
02.
Hardware
Equipment is specified for a long service life, maintained rather than replaced, and retired responsibly through certified recovery channels.
03.
Communities
Connectivity and skills programmes in the communities around our sites, run with local partners and reported against agreed outcomes.
04.
Governance
Environmental performance is reported to the group board on the same cycle as financial performance, with targets and independent verification.
Our leadership
Our leadership
The executive committee is accountable for group strategy, capital allocation, and the security and availability of every platform we operate.
Executive committee
The executive committee sets group strategy and holds each operating company to a shared standard for engineering quality, security and customer outcomes.
It meets monthly with the leadership of the six companies, and reports to the board on performance, risk and compliance across all four regions.

Afrika Plaza
Commerce infrastructure has to be built for the market it serves
Cross-border commerce in Africa fails on settlement and last-mile density, not on catalogue software. Afrika Plaza was designed around that fact.
