FSA Global Advisory Strategy · Capital · Institution Building
The Firm

A focused firm for decisions that cannot be delegated.

FSA is deliberately compact. The person accountable for the advice stays close to the work, with additional expertise brought in only where the decision requires it.

Who We Are

The person holding the judgement remains visible.

Clients should not have to wonder who is thinking about their most consequential decision.

Each engagement has named senior ownership. Where specialist depth is needed, we assemble it around the problem without passing accountability through layers of a team.

The model is selective by design. It protects judgement, discretion and the quality of attention given to each mandate.

Leadership

Funke Shobanjo

Managing Partner M.CIoD HCIB ACSI

Funke brings twenty-six years of experience across global markets, financial institutions, strategy, governance and transformation.

She spent almost a decade at Goldman Sachs in London across several functions, from fixed income operations to the firm’s execution and clearing business, where she progressed to Executive Director. She subsequently led programmes at Traiana automating straight-through processing across global foreign-exchange markets, before working with exchanges at Bloomberg on the integrity and commercial development of their market data.

In Nigeria, Funke spent more than eleven years with the FBNQuest businesses. She led Strategy and Transformation, and her mandate widened to encompass Operations, People Management, and Marketing and Corporate Communications, together with governance oversight of Technology and Information Security. Through the bank’s change of control, she held enterprise-wide responsibility across strategy, operations, organisational design and technology governance.

At FSA, she helps leaders turn complex institutional ambition into decisions, structures and execution that can withstand scrutiny.

More about Funke
The Engagement

The answer a client wants is not always the answer the institution needs.

FSA is not engaged to decorate a settled position.

We start with whether the question is the right one. Often the assumptions underneath it have never been stated, let alone tested. Where the evidence changes the answer, we say so. Where implementation changes the advice, we account for it before the decision is made.

Governance

Governance should be visible in the work.

Confidentiality, conflicts, document control and named accountability are not administrative details.

They determine whether advice can be trusted, whether a process can withstand scrutiny and whether a decision remains defensible after it leaves the room. We build those disciplines into the engagement from the outset.

Engage

Bring us the decision that does not fit neatly anywhere else.
