Ibukun is the Co-Founder and Director of Restitution Capital, a UK-based impact-focused claims developer and litigation fund that partners exclusively with sovereign governments to structure and finance investable legal claims. He also leads Lagos Carbon, Africa’s first domestic Environmental Market Infrastructure, contributing to the continent’s growing ecosystem of climate and sustainability-focused financial tools. 

During his 18 years at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), Ibukun served on the Divisional Executive Committee and held several senior leadership roles, including Global Head of Sustainable Finance and Investment Strategy, Head of Emerging Markets Strategy, and Head of International Primary Markets. He played a pivotal role in advancing the development of African capital markets, establishing the LSEG Africa Advisory Group, and spearheading initiatives to expand access to sustainable finance. 

Ibukun has been instrumental in driving sustainability and climate-finance innovations across Africa. His work includes leading LSEG’s Sustainable Finance Initiative (SFI) for Africa, championing the adoption of sustainability reporting, and forging collaborations with the IFC, African Development Bank, and other international finance institutions. These initiatives helped mobilize more than USD 3 billion in capital for GHG-reducing projects across the region. He also contributed to structuring new local-currency debt products listed in London and led transactions that raised over USD 100 billion for governments and corporates in emerging markets. 

Before his time at LSEG, Ibukun worked as an FX trader at NatWest Markets and Citi, specialising in major-currency spot and cross-rate trading.
