A private advisory firm engaged to deliver outcomes, not recommendations, across an array of operational, transactional, financial, and human dimensions that typically involve complexity, urgency, or a need for discretion.
Ideal engagements are ones where the client needs an actual, turn-key result delivered — not just recommendations and decks that they and their team then need to figure out how to implement themselves. Otherwise, what is the point?
Furnival | Sudo was established in 2025 by Lee Furnival, former right-hand to Andy Beal, the eponymous founder and sole shareholder of Beal Bank and Beal Bank USA. Over a 23+ year career with Mr. Beal, Mr. Furnival served in multiple executive roles across both FDIC-insured institutions, as well as a fixer, closer, and in-house “entrepreneur-in-residence” to explore, build, and oversee multiple non-bank business interests and investments.
Over that tenure, Mr. Furnival personally traded and deployed in excess of $40 billion of institutional capital across credit, distressed debt, structured products, real estate, and direct operating investments. He also held principal responsibility for oversight of Mr. Beal’s de facto family office — the informal but full-scope structure through which Mr. Beal’s personal capital, holdings, and private interests are administered — and managed the enterprise’s institutional posture through the global financial crisis and the credit cycles that followed.
Among the broader portfolio of non-bank engagements, Mr. Furnival held senior operating responsibility at MoneyGram International, where he led global teams scaling to 1,600 full-time personnel across operating, corporate, and customer-facing functions. Furnival | Sudo brings the full range of that experience to bear on every engagement.
