“I'm thrilled I will be leading Jumia in Nigeria, one of our largest markets, and to help

Jumia's success in the country, prioritising customer satisfaction, secure payments,
and strong partnerships. Our dedicated team is key to our future success, and I am

”We extend our sincere thanks and wish the best to Massi as he departs our teams
following 11 years since the very start of Jumia. Massi has been part of the founding
team since Jumia was launched in 2012 and has covered many leadership roles across
all our countries and functions until his current one as CEO in Nigeria and EVP for the
group. We wish the very best for Sunil for this new challenge,” said Francis Dufay, CEO
of Jumia Group.
