Faces of Jumia

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.

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.

Diane Asket
Central Project Manager - Cost Efficiency
I started off as an intern in Jumia over 6 years ago and I have since changed roles 4 times in 5 years! What I have learnt in Jumia is that where there is a will, there is a way and that I should never content with little if I can bring more to the table.
I believe women will play a pivotal role as leaders in Africa’s e-commerce journey and I love how Jumia empowers women and gives them opportunity to grow even with little experience. As a leader, I share and assume my team’s opinions and help them grow.
I am currently the Central Project Manager on Cost Efficiency.

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.

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.
