  • Jumia Technologies AG (NYSE:JMIA) shut down its office in Dubai and migrated senior management to the African countries they control to cut losses and redirect the company after its founders quit in November.
  • Managers will move to countries in their region, with most relocating to Morocco, Kenya, and Ivory Coast, and disband the 60-person Dubai office, Jumia's acting head Francis Dufay said in a Bloomberg interview.
  • Dufay took over after founders Sacha Poignonnec, and Jeremy Hodara quit in November.
  • He voiced his efforts to cut costs as Dubai's rents rose faster than those in New York or London and became more responsive to the young, tech-savvy population in its African markets.
  • Jumia went public in 2019 in the U.S., where investors hailed it as the Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) of Africa. Since then, Jumia has battled with persistent losses, and its shares plunged 68%.
  • The report added that Amazon looks to expand its e-commerce service into some of the larger African markets by next year.
  • Still, Dufay said that the company's more than a decade of experience operating in Africa offered it an edge over new competitors.
  • Dufay looked to double down on Jumia's "bread-and-butter" e-commerce categories, including fashion, beauty, consumer electronics, and appliances.
  • He planned to pause the logistics services to third parties in its operating countries except for Morocco, Nigeria, and Ivory Coast.
  • Price Action: JMIA shares traded higher by 1.26% at $4.81 on the last check Monday.
  • 巨米科技股份公司 (NYSE: JMIA) 關閉其在杜拜的辦事處,並將高級管理人員遷移到他們控制的非洲國家,以減少損失並在其創始人於 11 月退出後將公司重新定向公司。
  • Jumia 代理負責人弗朗西斯·杜菲(Francis Dufay)在彭博採訪中表示,管理人員將遷往其所在地區的國家,大多數搬遷到摩洛哥,肯尼亞和象牙海岸,並解散了 60 人的迪拜辦事處。
  • 杜菲接手後,創始人薩查 Poignonnec, 傑里米·霍達拉在十一月退出.
  • 他表示,杜拜的租金上漲速度比紐約或倫敦的租金快,並且對非洲市場上年輕、精通科技的人口更加敏感,他表示自己努力降低成本。
  • Jumia 於 2019 年在美國上市,投資者將其譽為 亚马逊公司 (納斯達克:AMZN) 非洲.從那時起,Jumia 遭受了持續損失,其股價暴跌了 68%。
  • 該報告補充說,亞馬遜計劃在明年將其電子商務服務擴展到一些較大的非洲市場。
  • 儘管如此,Dufay 表示,該公司在非洲擁有十多年的經驗,使其優於新競爭對手。
  • Dufay 對 Jumia 的「麵包和黃油」電子商務類別進行了翻番調查,包括時尚,美容,消費電子產品和家電。
  • 他計劃暫停物流服務的第三方在其運營國家除了摩洛哥, 尼日利亞, 和象牙海岸.
  • 價格行動: 週一,JMIA 股票上漲了 1.26%,報 4.81 美元。
