Mohamed Abdirizak totes over 23 years of diggin’ in the trenches of development work, fiercely committed to kickstartin’ positive change. He’s racked up roles in various international orgs and government gigs, including as Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Rahma Ahmed, the head honcho and outgoing CEO, has a gut feeling: “Mohamed’s appointment heralds a fresh era for Asal. His truckload of experience and human-centered drive to beef up systems dovetails with Asal’s mission perfectly.”
Asal Consulting, birthed in 2016 by Rahma Ahmed and Quman Akli, zooms in on research and public governance, with a keen eye on homegrown climate action.
“Asal sprung from a deep bond with Somali society, its folks, and the burning need for positive shifts,” Rahma Ahmed declared.
Headed by Mohamed Abdirizak, Asal’s sights remain locked on empowering communities and pushing sustainable development. “I’m stoked to join Asal as the new CEO and to build on the stellar groundwork laid by Rahma Ahmed and her squad,” Mohamed Abdirizak chimed. “Asal’s quest to uplift communities and chase sustainable development hits home for me. I can’t wait to dive in, leverage my know-how and networks, and amplify Asal’s bang in Somalia and beyond.”
