Faces of Jumia

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.

Lynette Katuku
HR Business Partner - Jumia Kenya
I became a part of Jumia in 2019, initially serving as a Human Resource Associate. Subsequently, I earned a promotion to the position of Human Resource Business Partner. Prior to joining Jumia, my professional background includes experience in the manufacturing industry, as well as being a Human Resource consultant.
What I appreciate about Jumia is its inclusive culture. Jumia provides a work environment that values and respects the diversity of its employees. At Jumia individuals of different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and identities feel welcome, accepted, and valued.

Elisée Alle
Expansion Manager - Jumia Côte d'Ivoire
"You don't need a title to be a leader" at Jumia. That is my motto: there is a leader in each of us, so we must be ambitious and act on it. I really like the simplicity and availability of the management teams, the friendly and warm work environment as well as the availability and kindness of the HR.
I joined Jumia in February 2015 as Customer Service Agent and changed roles 3 times before being promoted to Customer Experience Manager in August 2017 and moving to a role of JForce Expansion Manager in 2019.

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

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.
