Faces of Jumia

Nicole Liang

Business Operations - Jumia Global

Jumia is a company with a real vision and mission. We are building a digital Africa, connecting Africans with each other, bringing consumer goods and services to all. I share this vision and I am given the opportunity to actually play my part to make a change. It is not always easy but we believe that "where there’s a will, there’s a way".

Working at Jumia is fun. Each day is a surprise. I joined Jumia in 2019. It’s been over two years now, and I can still feel that I am learning everyday and improving myself at internet speed. Everyone is always willing to help. I can see and feel how great of a change I have made possible and really enjoy working with all my dear colleagues. Before Jumia I worked as an Amazon seller for about 2.5 years in the e-commerce industry, at Yihao Tech.

Uche Alisson

Head of Legal - Jumia Nigeria

As a legal practitioner with 17+ years professional experience in the areas of logistics and supply chain, finance, mergers and acquisitions, international business, energy and infrastructure, I recently joined Jumia in 2023 as Country Head of Legal, NG.
What I love most about Jumia is that the company has afforded me the opportunity to add value, be recognized and rewarded for adding such value. Indeed, Jumia lets the best people and ideas grow- one of the Company’s core values. A fast paced environment that presents a variety of opportunities to proffer solutions, my skills as a lawyer are enhanced day by day and I am loving every minute of working here.

What do I love about Jumia? Growing and encouraging leadership of the company. Our belief at Jumia is that everyone can act as a leader and hold leadership functions. We welcome new ideas and execute them, test and learn to keep growing.
Holding a master's degree in logistics, I joined Jumia in 2014 as Retail Buying Operations Associate. 2 years later, we launched Jumia Marketplace and I joined that team for 2 years as Vendor Relationship Manager, then as Head of University and Communication. A few role changes later, I am a Key Account Manager.
