Ron Kawamara Shares his Vision for Jumia: The Leading Ecommerce Platform in Uganda

Ron Kawamara, CEO of Jumia Uganda, the leading ecommerce platform in the country, shares his vision for the company in three years’ time.

“Jumia in three years’ time will be a place customers can trust to get everything they need for their lives: services and products at the price point and convenience that you cannot find anywhere else. It is going to be a place where vendors are reliably making very strong increment revenues. It is going to be a brand that is trusted for the quality and level of service that is superior to other competitors in the market. It will be a big factor in improving the everyday lives of Ugandans. Customers will be able to save money and save time and vendors will be able to make more revenue and be able to reach more people. We are going to continue to be a strong impact in the labor market, training young people who can go on to become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses. We are going to help the government understand the potential of innovation and ecommerce, data protections, and help them see that the value chain is important for taxations. We hope to have expanded the ecosystem of payment solutions and logistics solutions. We see our role in this as very important. Jumia is not me or the shareholders. It is Ugandan sellers selling to Ugandan customers. I see unlimited potential in that. We continue to optimize this for our customers and our vendors and continue to create value for our partners, logistics providers, payment supporters, and everyone within the value chain”, says Ron Kawamara.
