The Architects of the Surge Mission
Driven by a singular vision to build the foundational technology systems that power African institutions.
Mark Daniel Hiwa
Chief Executive Officer & Head of Engineering
An engineering-first leader with a passion for building systems that last. Mark specializes in complex digital architecture and institutional growth strategy. With over a decade of experience in software engineering, he has led Surge from a specialized dev firm into a multidisciplinary technology powerhouse. He believes that African technology firms must own the entire stack — from the code to the physical infrastructure — to ensure true sovereign reliability.
"Engineering is not just about code; it's about solving human problems at scale with precision and integrity."
Wakisa Silindu
Chief Operations Officer & Infrastructure Lead
A specialist in high-scale operational efficiency and enterprise infrastructure. Wakisa ensures that Surge's physical deployments are as robust as its software. He leads the team in complex hardware integrations, network architecture, and physical security protocols. His focus is on ensuring that Surge's solutions are sustainable and supported in the most demanding environments across the continent.
"Reliability is the only metric that matters when an institution depends on your infrastructure."
