Faces of Jumia

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.

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.

Marcelle Monkam

CCO - Jumia Kenya

My journey at Jumia has been so far a great one, I joined Jumia in 2014 as an acquisition captain in Cameroon Coming from DIAGEO. 4 months after joining, I was promoted to Head of Seller Management and then Head of Category. Later on, I left Cameroon to join Jumia Senegal as CCO where I did 19 amazing months and presently I am the CCO for Jumia Kenya.
Looking back at these amazing years at Jumia, one thing I learned is to always challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone to grow. This has been so easy to achieve because Jumia is a stimulating environment that promotes people's growth and well-being. I am proud to be part of this multicultural team spread over 11 countries that have one main goal "Change African's lives through technology"

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.
