INDUSTRY news
In memory of Tony Ryan
Asite's Tony Ryan passed away on Tuesday the 2nd of January in London, due to unexpectedly
severe complications from a recent illness. He was appointed CEO in 2006, having previously been
Sales Director
In partnership with Nathan Doughty,
who had been Chief Operating
Officer since 2006, Tony
transformed Asite into a consistently
profitable business - despite the
turbulent times the industry faced. Due
to this work, Asite is now a key global
player in today's Software as a Service
(SaaS) space, working on some of the
largest capital projects and
infrastructure developments around
the world. Tony's determination to
succeed was a key driver of this
success.
Above all, Tony was an extraordinary
character who will be remembered for
his positive energy and optimism
about life. The entire Asite family
grieves his loss and extends their
deepest sympathies to Tony's family
and friends.
While Asite mourns, they also
continue to push forward as the
ATeam; which is precisely what he
would have wanted. Nathan Doughty
has been appointed as Group CEO
and has the full support of Asite's
Board of Directors, management team
and employees around the world.
With over 25 years of experience in IT
services, extensive knowledge of
Software as a Service and the global
architectural, engineering and
construction (AEC) environment,
Nathan will continue to build on the
excellent foundations that have been
laid and provide leadership to shape a
market-leading future for the business
in its mission to become the global
leader in digital engineering.
Asite's global offices and expanding
team of experts has provided them
with the capability to fully support their
customers, regardless of their location.
Their success over the last year has
enabled them to achieve ambitious
growth targets, resulting in an 83%
increase in operating profit and 20.4%
increase in revenue. At the centre of
their triumph, the cloud-based Asite
platform continues to push the
boundaries of research and innovation
in the field of digital engineering on
behalf of their customers, achieving
awards such as Cloud Technology of
the Year and Best Use of IT in a
Construction Project at the
Constructing Computing Awards 2019.
They are well positioned to
accomplish their strategic desire to
become the global leader in digital
engineering by integrating supply
chains for capital projects and
infrastructure developments
worldwide, and their vision to connect
people and help the world build better
has never been more pertinent. Asite's
future looks very bright and is destined
for exciting times ahead.
