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.

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.

Oluwatosin Oyekanmi

Head of Seller Engagement - Jumia Nigeria

I am currently the Head of Marketplace at Jumia Nigeria where I lead our efforts to acquire new sellers & brands while ensuring we have strong growth partnerships with existing sellers across multiple categories. I began my Jumia journey in 2014 as Sourcing Associate and have transitioned through various roles from Operations to Commercial. I am highly skilled in Business Planning, Analysis & Strategy and passionate about changing people’s lives through technology.
What I love most about working at Jumia are the strong friendships I have built over time and the always available learning opportunities arising from our ambition to achieve big goals.

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.
