Simon Ryan’s Ryancap launches data and tech business, Foxcatcher

Simon Ryan has launched a marketing data and technology business, Foxcatcher, under the umbrella of Ryancap, the business he established this year to act as a local holding company.

The agency – which will have a “complete focus on customer data, digital ecosystems and convergence”, according to the company – will be led by David Gaskill, who has left his role as head of product at Audience360 to become managing director of Foxcatcher.

Gaskill has also held senior positions at Dentsu – where he worked with Ryan and Joseph Pardillo, who heads Ryancap’s other agency, Ryvalmedia – and AE Capital.
