Faces of Jumia

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.

Mourad Tatou
COO - Jumia Algeria
I am an expert in customer relations and customer operations management with over 10 years of experience across different industries. I joined Jumia Algeria in 2022 as the Head of Customer Service where I led and oversaw the organization's customer service operations before transitioning to Chief Operations Officer in 2023.
I particularly value the emphasis on teamwork, as well as the stimulating prospect of daily operational challenges that provide ongoing opportunities for learning and collaboration.

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.

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.

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.
