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.

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.

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

What do I love about Jumia? Growing and encouraging leadership of the company. Our belief at Jumia is that everyone can act as a leader and hold leadership functions. We welcome new ideas and execute them, test and learn to keep growing.
Holding a master's degree in logistics, I joined Jumia in 2014 as Retail Buying Operations Associate. 2 years later, we launched Jumia Marketplace and I joined that team for 2 years as Vendor Relationship Manager, then as Head of University and Communication. A few role changes later, I am a Key Account Manager.
