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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
