Information Systems / Technology
Manager
Nairobi, Kenya
Organization Description
Copia Global (“the Company”) is a
for-profit, consumer goods catalog
order and delivery service for the
peri-urban and rural populations of
the developing world.
Just as the Sears catalog
revolutionized life in the pioneer
days of the United States and
Amazon revolutionized life in the
internet age, the Company is
applying many of the same
marketing and distribution concepts
to increase access for rural and peri-
urban populations.
With $5T of annual income, the peri-
urban and rural populations of the
developing world represent a huge
untapped market opportunity.
These populations remain
underserved with no affordable
access to basic necessities.
Copia Global, using mobile
communication technology and the
internet, will open up distribution to
these hundreds of millions of the
world’s population, enhancing their
lives while creating a world class
operation.
