Faces of Jumia

Jorge Correia

Senior Engineering Manager - PTC

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

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.

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.

Nadia Belahsen

Key Account Manager - Jumia Morocco

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.
