Salman Abdirahman Diriye

I am a finance and banking professional with five years of experience across Somaliland’s private sector and humanitarian NGO landscapes. I specialize in budget oversight, donor compliance, and procurement operations, leveraging a dual background in accounting and computer science to modernize financial workflows. By integrating ERP platforms like Odoo and QuickBooks, I establish the robust internal controls and data integrity required for mission-critical reporting. I am now seeking to apply my analytical rigor and cross-sector expertise to a challenging new role in international finance or banking operations.
