Royston Da Costa

I am an independent treasury advisor who can assist organisations that want to enhance, streamline, or modernise their Treasury operations.

I bring more than two decades of hands-on treasury experience, with a strong focus on digital transformation, treasury technology, and building efficient, future-ready processes to solve critical issues and pain points for Treasurers.

Having led multiple global implementations and optimisation projects that have won best in class while at Ferguson, I offer practical, real-world insight that helps Treasury teams get more value from their TMS.

I am a senior lecturer at the Centre for Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE) on Generative AI in Corporate Treasury, I appear on a monthly panel of Treasury Dragons reviewing the latest Treasury Fintech solutions, and I am an Ambassador for Global Women in AI (GWAI).

 I previously worked at Sky, Gillette, PolyGram, Seagram, and Vivendi Universal.

 While I was at Ferguson we won a few awards for the treasury technology we implemented, including the 2018 TMI Awards for Innovation and Excellence with a Corporate Recognition Award for our “Future proofing Treasury” project.

 I also won the Adam Smith award on behalf of Ferguson for the “Best Cyber-Security Solution” in 2019 and most recently, the Treasury Today Highly Commended, “Champion of Change – EMEA” Award for 2025.
