Since leaving TRBI, Ryan has sailed around the world, written a series of diving guides for the Caribbean, run a luxury lodge in Queenstown and been chair of the Lodges of New Zealand Association.

In joining The Research Agency she will work alongside MD Andrew Lewis who worked for TRBI earlier in his career.

Ryan and her TRBI co-founder Wendy Gordon sold the company to Maritz in 1993 for an undisclosed sum. Maritz in turn sold the business a decade later to Synovate for £5.2m.
