Faces of Jumia

Maha Helwa
Senior Backend Developer - Jumia Egypt
Jumia is a leading African player in the FinTech arena. To me, it represents an opportunity to learn and participate in building Africa's digital economy for a huge market and witness the impact we can have on people's lives. I realize how today's techologies can help out both consumers and vendors to have such a secure and satisfactory online experience that is more enjoyable and smarter than a personal assistant in your own pocket.
I joined JumiaPay in July 2019 as senior backend developer and since then I have been working in the payment integration team.
Before Jumia, I was working at Seal-Software specializing in contract analysis, as senior software engineer, at Oracle as application Engineer, and EDS as information associate.

Sherry William
Head of Traffic Ops - Jumia Egypt
Jumia has helped me grow so much - both at a personal and professional level. During my time here, I have learned that e-commerce is so much more than just selling products, but that it's all about connecting with people and making a positive impact in the community. I feel so fortunate to work with a passionate team, and look forward to many more years of learning and growing together.
My journey at Jumia started over 8 years ago with Jumia Egypt and I am now Head of Traffic Ops today. Before Jumia, I worked in the Customer Service department in different companies in Egypt.

Mourad Tatou
COO - Jumia Algeria
I am an expert in customer relations and customer operations management with over 10 years of experience across different industries. I joined Jumia Algeria in 2022 as the Head of Customer Service where I led and oversaw the organization's customer service operations before transitioning to Chief Operations Officer in 2023.
I particularly value the emphasis on teamwork, as well as the stimulating prospect of daily operational challenges that provide ongoing opportunities for learning and collaboration.

Jorge Correia
Senior Engineering Manager - PTC
It's been years of constant challenges that have provided me with the ideal environment for professional growth. Together, the freedom and trust that is placed on employees are fundamental factors for building a successful career. I feel proud to contribute to the company's growth and happy to see how Jumia empowers people's development.
I joined Jumia in 2015 as a Junior web developer and became a Technical Lead. Since then I've worked in internal tools for user access management, software for customer communications and Jumia website search engine.
My background before I joined Jumia was mainly related to software development for healthcare institutions, working for Alert Life Sciences Computing

El Mehdi Louridi
Outbound Manager - Logistics - Jumia Morocco
I have learnt a lot since I joined Jumia way back in 2016! At Jumia I have been cultured to think positively, do what is right not what is easy, manage a team, respect and nourish my work life balance and to be grateful and fair as a manager.
All our work and work environment culture are focused on how to satisfy both consumers and vendors and I enjoy that!
I started my professional career with Jumia as a VDO agent 5 years ago and moved to quality auditor in 2018. Today, I work as an Outbound Manager.
