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.

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.

Marie Isidoria Monteira
Head of JForce - Jumia Senegal
I am a good listener and enjoy solving people's problems. Jumia is literally a 3.0 university where one can grow fast personally and professionally. I joined Jumia Senegal in 2018 as a vendor experience agent and took the lead of the department in November 2019 thanks to my work and professionalism. Now, I have transitioned to lead the JForce team.
Before Jumia, my experiences in previous companies allowed me to develop listening skills and especially the importance of teamwork, which is really essential at Jumia.

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.

Joan Katusiime
After Sales Manager - Jumia Uganda
I have learnt to think big at Jumia, always be solution minded and react as fast as possible. I love the working environment which has enabled me to grow tremendously.
I joined Jumia for the 2017 Black Friday edition as an Inbound temporary agent and got my contract as After sales agent in less than a year. I was promoted to Aftersales Manager in August 2019 to date.
